Battle Against Corona Virus
(1) The world’s biggest health crisis of our time is the rise of corona virus pandemic
that not only threatens people but kill thousands of lives around the globe. It originates in
Wuhan China last 2019 and is a highly contiguous disease that easily spread around the
world. COVID-19 is a virus that looks like a corona that can easily transferred by humans
through sneezing or coughing. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience
mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older
people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Indeed,
Corona virus is a socio-economic crisis too that leaves a deep scar in the economy of the
country it touches. The fight for this pandemic is not yet over because there is no invented
vaccine yet.
(2) According to an article written by Center by disease control and prevention
Coronaviruses are named for the crown-like spikes on their surface. There are four main
sub-groupings of coronaviruses, known as alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. Human
coronaviruses were first identified in the mid-1960s. The three well known coronaviruses are
MERS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or
MERS). Second is SARS-CoV (the beta coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory
syndrome, or SARS) and the third one SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus that causes
coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19) which we are currently facing today.
(3) MERS-CoV is a viral respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (Middle
East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, or MERS‐CoV) that was first identified in Saudi
Arabia. The clinical spectrum of MERS-CoV infection ranges from no symptoms
(asymptomatic) or mild respiratory symptoms to severe acute respiratory disease and death.
A typical presentation of MERS-CoV disease is fever, cough and shortness of breath.
Pneumonia is a common finding, but not always present. Gastrointestinal symptoms,
including diarrhea, have also been reported. Severe illness can cause respiratory failure that
requires mechanical ventilation and support in an intensive care unit. On the other hand,
SARS-CoV is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness
caused by a coronavirus called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first
reported in Asia. The illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North America,
South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained.
Since 2004, there have not been any known cases of SARS reported anywhere in the world.
Lastly, the novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19 is a
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the name given to the
2019 novel coronavirus. COVID-19 is the name given to the disease associated with the
virus. SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain of coronavirus that has not been previously identified in
humans.
(4) After this let’s take a look with the diagram below that shows the time when did
each virus occur and live thousands of deaths as it touches the whole world.
These viruses especially COVID-19 pandemic is a serious problem that every one of
us must be involve. But everything will end up well if everyone will cooperate and follow.
Prayer and self-discipline are the best protection to shield us with this deadly virus we are
facing today.

F. Application
Analyze and identify what kind of text type is the given paragraph and article below. Write
your answer in the blank.
1. Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused
by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2).
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and
recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems
like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to
develop serious illness.
On the other hand, flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Symptoms can be mild to
severe. The most common symptoms include: high fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle and joint
pain, headache, coughing, and feeling tired. These symptoms typically begin two days after exposure
to the virus and most last less than a week. The cough, however, may last for more than two weeks.
In children, there may be diarrhea and vomiting, but these are not common in adults. Diarrhea and
vomiting occur more commonly in gastroenteritis, which is an unrelated disease and sometimes
inaccurately referred to as "stomach flu" or the "24-hour flu". Complications of influenza may include
viral pneumonia, secondary bacterial pneumonia, sinus infections, and worsening of previous health
problems such as asthma or heart failure.
Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the
difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a
diagnosis. Flu and COVID-19 share many characteristics, but there are some key differences
between the two.

2. The World Health Organization (WHO), continuously advice the people to follow the
precautionary measures as a temporary solution to avoid being infected and one of the spreaders of
the disease.
One of this is regular hand washing. This will eliminate the transmission of the disease.
Bringing and using alcohol or hand sanitizer will be a big help too. Second is wearing a mask is a
must. In the so called new normal everyone is encouraged to wear a mask or face shield for their own
safety and protection. Social distancing is also strictly implemented in public areas and vehicles. Also,
public gathering is prohibited to avoid the spread of the disease.
Another one is, stay at home especially if there is nothing important to do outside. If you feel
you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing which is one of the symptoms of Covid-19
immediately report it to the nearest health center for monitoring to seek medical attention. Keep away
with the people who are sneezing or coughing. And if you feel the same do not hesitate to cover your
mouth or nose with your elbow or a tissue.
These are the possible solutions as of now while each of as is waiting for the vaccine.
Together let’s have self-discipline this is the key to prevent the spread of the virus.
Next, The Open WHO platform has had more than 3.7 million enrolments, over 80% of which
are in COVID-19 courses. Free training is available on 13 different topics translated into 31
languages to support the coronavirus response, for a total of 100 COVID-19 courses.
On the other hand, WHO’s landscape of COVID-19 candidate vaccines lists 17
candidate vaccines in clinical evaluation and 132 in preclinical evaluation.
Lastly, The Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Infectious Hazards (STAG-IH)
have met 35 times. STAG-IH provides independent advice and analysis to the WHO Health
Emergencies Programme on the infectious hazards that may pose a threat to global health
security. (source: https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/29-06-2020-covidtimeline)

IV. Evaluation
1. Researchers have used cryogenic electron microscopy to show that coronaviruses enter
human cells through an interaction with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
Scientists exploring how coronaviruses like COVID-19 infect human cells have shown that
the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein binds to the cell membrane protein angiotensin-
converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter human cells. COVID-19 has been shown to bind to
ACE2 via the S protein on its surface. During infection, the S protein is cleaved into
subunits, S1 and S2. S1 contains the receptor binding domain (RBD) which allows
coronaviruses to directly bind to the peptidase domain (PD) of ACE2. S2 then likely plays a
role in membrane fusion.
2. As the Covid-19 pandemic takes turn to the lives of people around the globe. The
government declares community quarantine in their respective country to protect people
from the contagious and deadly virus. The community quarantine is divided into three
categories. First, Enhance Community Quarantine (ECQ). Next is the Moderate
Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ). Other one is Moderate General Community
Quarantine (MGCQ) and lastly is the General Community Quarantine. Each level has its
own restrictions to be obeyed by the netizens.
First, carefully pour the bleach into the spray bottle or jar first, then add the water. Mixing the
solution in this order will prevent the bleach from splashing up on you. If you get any bleach on
your skin, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth, Place the lid tightly on the container.
Next, gently mix it by shaking. Lastly, after mixing, your solution is ready to use.
