Some people hope that the temperature rise will end the Corona virus outbreak. But in contrast to common seasonal outbreaks, the prevalence is often different in outbreaks such as Covid 19.
Most infectious diseases end with changing seasons. For example, a common cold can usually spread with the onset of winter, but end in summer. Similarly, the virus infects the foot in winter.
On the contrary, typhoid is exposed in summer, while measles-like disease decreases in summer.
That is why it is not surprising if people are asking whether changing weather can also make a difference on Covid 19.
The Corona virus, which started in China in mid-December last year, has spread rapidly throughout the world and has the highest number of victims outside China, both in Europe and the United States.
Most of the infectious diseases spread to cold regions, which has led to the impression that as the summer approaches, the corona virus will end. However, many experts have warned that hot weather should not be relied upon to eradicate the virus. Experts are also somewhat careful to be cautious.
This virus, which causes Covid 19 and is regularly named SARS-CoV-2, is so new that it has no data. So it is not yet known what the difference may be with the changing weather.
The SARS virus similar to this virus was immediately controlled, so little information is available about the effects of climate change on it.
But some other viruses, such as humans that have been infected, have received clues that can cure this phenomenon.
A study by Kate Templeton, linked to the Centre’s for Disease Research at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, was done ten years ago. The study found that three different types of corona virus were linked to cold weather. The virus apparently caused the disease in people between December and April.
The same phenomenon was observed in influenza. A fourth corona virus was also reported in most patients who had weak immune systems, but the virus was not very common.
These are just a few of the early signs that Cody 19 might change as the seasons change. The outbreak of this new disease worldwide is apparently pointing to the fact that the cold and dry weather helps it.
In a recent study, which has not yet been published, a comparative study of the climatic conditions of more than 500 regions worldwide has been reported. This research points to the relationship between temperature, wind speed, humidity ratio in air and the spread of corona virus.
Another unpublished study also showed a correlation between high temperature and low prevalence of Cod19. However, the study also states that temperature alone cannot be the only cause of any change in the spread of the outbreak globally.
Another unpublished study found that milder or less hot and cold climatic regions are most helpful for the corona virus. Next comes the dry season areas. While the tropical areas have the least risk.
But to estimate what the situation will be a year later; researchers are relying on computer modelling without reliable data.
The problem is that dangerous infectious diseases often do not adapt to the usual outbreaks like the outbreak. For example, from 1918 to 1920 the pandemic 'Spanish flu' or Spanish flu was at its peak in the summer. While most flu spreads in the winter.
Infectious Disease Prevention Specialist Professor Jane Albert says, "We hope Cody will become an endemic with 19 pandemics."
This means that it will become a common pandemic from a once-infectious infectious disease that keeps coming, such as the common flu.
Professor Albert says that if the virus was not affected by the weather, it would be very surprising.
The big question is how will the effects of the weather on this virus affect its ability to cope? We do not know this completely, but we think it is possible. '
The corona virus is from a family of viruses called "enveloped viruses" - viruses that are wrapped in something. It is said that they have a layer of fat called lipid bilayer and contain nucleic nail protein such as those found in the crown of a king or queen. In Latin the crown is called Corona.
According to research on such viruses, this lubricant becomes their weakness in the heat. But in the cold, this layer becomes hard like rubber. That is why in the cold, this layer protects the virus for a long time while it melts in the heat. This is why most viruses with such a layer affect the weather.
So far, research has shown that the virus that has caused catastrophic destruction worldwide today survives on hard surfaces like plastic and steel at temperatures of 21 to 23 degrees Celsius and 40 percent humidity in the air for 72 hours. Can stay
It is yet to be seen how he reacts to other temperatures and humidity. But researchers on other types of corona virus say they can survive for more than 28 days at four degrees Celsius.
