RELATE COVID-19 TO SUGAR AS DISINFECTANT

Coronaviruses are a type of virus. There are many different kinds,

and some cause disease. A newly identified type has caused a recent
outbreak of respiratory illness now called COVID-19 that started in China
and can be spread from person to person. It is diagnosed with laboratory
test. Since there is no coronavirus vaccine yet I could relate the sugar as
disinfectant. As we can observe the most affected persons are elderly,
specifically senior citizen because they have low calories in their body. So,
they are prone to that said virus. Sugar, alongside honey, has long
been used as a topical ointment in wound care. Sugar is not only
great for cleaning these wounds, but it can be an alternative for
people with insulin-dependent diabetes. In this case, high sugar can
be more effective at inhibiting bacterial growth.
Since there are 3 types of sugar which is the Glucose is the
sugar in blood, Fructose a principal sugar of fruits which contains
nutrients and fiber and Sucrose is a double sugar contain one part
of glucose and one for fructose. The higher amount of fructose can
boost the immune system. This means that sugar can destroy
bacteria from our body.
