Another hypothesis! Viruses as we all know are continuously changing as a result of genetic selection. They undergo subtle genetic changes through mutation and major genetic changes through recombination. Mutation occurs when an error is incorporated in the viral genome. Recombination occurs when co...

Sir if everyone in quarantine is infected then the contagion stops. The idea is to keep infected mild cases or asymptomatic who have tested positive otherwise in isolation from public till the incubation and infectious period is over (7-14 days). Only critical cases will need intensive care. Yes, b...

Genetic build of an individual could also play a part in why some succumb while others have mild or no symptoms. There are huge differences in clinical outcomes and across countries. For instance, the gene coding for the cell surface protein angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) which the coronavir...

It is strongly advised to keep a bucket of soap water and dip anything coming into your home for 30 seconds, be it milk pouches, bread packets, medicines, vegetables, grocery anything.

Why washing hands with soap helps Coronavirus is an ‘enveloped virus’. This means it has a protective outer layer known as a ‘lipid bilayer’. The molecules making up this layer are shaped like a tadpole, with a water-loving (hydrophilic) round head and a water-hating (hydrophobic) tail. These molecu...
