Deskripsi
This book is about giving you the common sense, non-pharmaceutical tools needed to defeat COVID-19, the disease that has spread to almost every nation. While people are being infected with the coronavirus everywhere, you can be an exception. An understanding of the disease and practicing basic hygiene mixed with faith will keep you safe from the coronavirus pandemic. It is said, common sense is not common. The tools outlined in this book are so simple, yet so powerful. This is a well-researched book that touches every part of the disease; the scientific, the social and the spiritual. It shows you among other things, the general guidelines for differentiating the common flu from COVID-19. It also gives the percentage risk of dying for different age groups when COVID-19 is contracted. Also explained is how boosting your immunity helps you overcome the disease. The icing of the cake is the section on how to use faith to extinguish the fear of the disease and spiritually immune yourself from it.
Chapter one is about Understanding the Coronavirus disease. Chapter two is about Protecting yourself from COVID-19. Chapter three states the facts within a certain time frame about the rapid spread of the disease among the nations. Chapter four gives a summary of the history of past epidemics and pandemics in human history and lessons to be learned. Chapter five is a general summary of the response of the nations to the spread of COVID-19. Chapter Six is titled the Fear Factor. Chapter Seven is titled the Faith Factor. Chapter Eight is about how COVID-19 has exposed the frailty of human life and institutions.

CHAPTER ONE
UNDERSTANDING COVID-19
WHAT ARE VIRUSES?
A virus is a parasitic organism that is so small it cannot be seen by an optical microscope. Viruses cannot live very long outside host organisms, and their presence in the host could be very harmful resulting in sicknesses. The origin of viruses is unclear: some may have evolved from pieces of DNA that can move between cells, while others may have evolved from bacteria. While both bacteria and viruses are microorganisms, the major difference is that bacteria are cellular while viruses are not. Unlike most living organisms that multiply by cell division, when infected by a virus, a host cell is forced to quickly produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus. Viruses invade human or animal cells and use them to reproduce, which is what causes infection. The more the virus reproduce in the host organism, the greater the harm to the host.
A virus consists of two or three parts. 1) long molecules called genes (DNA OR RNA) that carry genetic information, 2) a protein coat that protects the gene, 3) in some viruses an envelope of fat that surrounds the protein coat which makes them vulnerable to soap. Just like the presence of virus in a computer corrupts the system, the presence of certain viruses is harmful to humans, animals and plants. In humans and other animals, viruses are usually eliminated by the immune system.
The immune system is the host organism’s defense system that recognize and eliminates parasites within it. To function properly, an immune system must be able to detect a wide variety of pathogens and distinguish them from the organism’s healthy tissues. When the immune system of an infected person is weak, the risk of the person becoming sick is very high. Viruses spread in many ways. Plant viruses are often spread from plant to plant by insects and other organisms. Viruses in humans and animals are spread by exposure to the bodily fluids of the infected human or animal.
WHAT ARE CORONAVIRUSES?
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common both in humans and in animals like camels, cattle, cats and bats. When infected they cause in humans from the common cold to more severe diseases such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). The name coronavirus is derived from the Latin word corona, meaning crown which refers to the crownlike appearance of the virus particles when viewed under a two-dimensional transmission electron microscope.Occasionally, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread from people to people. Examples are the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), that was passed from dromedary camels to humans in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Then the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) which first infected humans in Guangdong province of southern China in 2002. And now SARS- CoV 2, a novel strain of the older SARS CoV that causes the disease COVID 19. All three of these viruses have been thought to have their origins in bats. They are called betacoronaviruses because they are members of the second group of the coronavirus family. The sequences from U.S. patients are like the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.
THE DISEASE COVID 19
COVID 19 is an abbreviated form of CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019. CO stands for Corona, VI stands for Virus, D is for Disease and 19 stands for 2019 the year it was first detected. It is a respiratory disease caused by a new kind of coronavirus SARS -Cov -2. Virus evolves by mutating. Mutation is a random change in genetic material of an organism resulting in a new trait or characteristic that can be inherited. The discovery of this new virus was first reported by China to WHO (World Health Organization) on 31st of December 2019. And in less than ninety days from then, the virus has spread to more than 150 nations of the world. COVID-19 like SARS CoV is again originating from China, may be the reason, Donald Trump, the President of USA, calls it the Chinese disease in one if his tweets on March 18,2020.
The World Health Organization WHO on 11th March 2020 declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. A pandemic is a disease that spreads widely from one country to another affecting so many
