With the onset of winter, there has been a sharp rise in the number of cases of coronavirus, which medical experts have called the second wave, the second wave is said to be more severe than the first because the death toll is also rising rapidly.
Last year, at the beginning of winter, cases of a mysterious disease began to be reported in the Chinese city of Wuhan, which caused a great deal of havoc, and then experts named the disease Corona or Covid 19.
As you know, the corona virus belongs to the stork family, so experts also believe that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans.
In the early days, experts attributed the corona to bats because the viruses in it were similar to coyotes, but when other studies were done, the names of many other animals came to light.
The second wave of coronavirus is wreaking havoc around the world, with more than 200,000 people dying from the virus in the United States.
Researchers believe that with the onset of the cold, the number of cases of the virus has increased, the virus will intensify with the weather and the situation may worsen.
First of all, cold and flu viruses that affect the respiratory tract, such as covid-19, are more prevalent in many countries in winter.
The United States reported 40 times more cases of colds in the fall and winter than in the summer and spring last year, while the average temperature in colder climates in temperate countries increased 10 times.
As you can see, in tropical countries this increase occurs during the rainy season. How can the corona virus spread in winter? In the past, it has been rare for a new virus to cause more outbreaks in the winter than in the past two and a half centuries, with about ten epidemics affecting the respiratory tract.
Surprisingly, the second wave of these diseases started six months later, while three times the second wave started in the cold season.
Medical and research experts are trying to find the causes of the outbreak of the virus in the winter, which has not yet been successful, and even after a year, experts have not yet reached a conclusion on the spread of coronavirus.
According to the data collected by experts so far, the summer starts in March in Italy.
In those days, the virus was spreading rapidly there, while in the US city of Boston it was cold and in Houston it was hot, but still the virus Was spreading If scientists had been able to understand why the flu spreads so fast in a single season, their task could have been much easier, but so far no progress has been made.
Virginia Tech researcher Linsey Marr, who studies the spread of infectious diseases, says that if the flu viruses are more harmful in the winter, it is because they have a chance to be strong for many years. In a single season, when people's immune systems are weakened, they begin to show effects.
How to stay safe from Corona in winter?
With the onset of winter, diseases such as colds, flu, coughs and fevers spread rapidly. In the past, people did not take these diseases seriously, but now all but a few are showing seriousness due to coronavirus.
If you want to stay safe from the virus, spend as much time at home as possible in the winter, maintain a social distance if you need to go out, wear a mask and avoid going to crowded places.
American professor Jimenez says the number of corona cases could rise by up to 10 percent in the winter.
He said that the reason for the increase was that due to the cold weather, more people would stay indoors and out of offices, which would further increase the spread of the disease, so it was necessary to manage the entry and exit of fresh air into homes.
However, if there is an affected person, he should be kept in a closed room.
