Coronavirus: 21 Days! How Does Coronavirus Damage Human Body Step by Step?

2020-04-20

From cytokine storm to honeycomb lung, study the whole onset process of Coronavirus infection, wen could find that the novel Coronavirus will not just damage the lungs only in human body. The novel coronavirus has many same characteristics as SARS and MERS. The coronaviruses can induce reactions in multiple organs, which is also a typical characteristic of zoonotic coronaviruses.

Per to current world wide situation of coronavirus, the virus has a very fast spread rate. Here let us walk through how coronavirus damage the body in 21 days on a specimen patient.

21 Days Ago

In the 21 days ago, Coronavirus invaded into human body through nasal mucosa, and then arrived the first stop: Lung Organs.

With its own special structure, the novel coronavirus quickly combined the lung cell ACE2 protein and obtained a passport to enter the lung organ cells.

After entering the cell, the coronavirus quickly dissolved and released its own RNA, helping the virus to invade the internal production line of the cell in an uncontrolled manner, copying and producing progeny virus in large quantities, and inhibiting the original gene expression of the cell.

Progeny viruses then started quickly spread and replicate themselves in healthy cells in the same way.

Now, the coronavirus has completed its first step of infecting the human body: Rooting and Strengthening itself.

Although it has been turned upside down in the body, the patients at this time have no any discomfort and symptoms, living and moving around in the crowd as normal.

The massive coronavirus spreaded and replicated in the lungs, and then killed a large number of ciliary cells in the lungs, which removed the filter and block mechanism from the nasal cavity to the lungs. As a result viruses and debris reached the lungs without any hindrance.

14 Days Ago

There were plenty of coronavirus in the lungs after 7 days, which produced inflammation in the lungs. At this moment, the final warning of inflammation to the body was shot out, along with the death of a large number of cilia cells. Then The body immune system started to work and fight against the virus when accepted the warning signals.

Immune cells began to kill viruses in lung cells. However, in the lungs affected by the virus, the immune cells have no big advantages and have little effect against the virus.

At this phase, the patient began to appear symptoms such as fever and cough with the lungs were seriously infected. This common symptoms made the patient tend to take some cold or flu medicines for self treatment. And most doctors might give similar advice to the patient, because current symptoms is not clear enough for Confirmed diagnosis of Coronavirus. And meanwhile, almost every one had no more ideas of Coronavirus at the beginning of coronavirus outbreak.

Taking cold medicines did not contain the symptoms of Coronavirus, but gives the virus more time to attack the body system.

To eliminate the virus, more immune cells gathered in the lungs fighting against the virus. During the fighting process, the virus was effectively killed, but at the same time many healthy cells were killed by mistake, which resulted in more complications.

7 Days Ago

When a large number of healthy cells died, the remaining virus would produce more heavy damages which resulted in deterioration of the disease. Meanwhile due to lung cells damage, the lungs began to appear “honeycomb” perforation, the injury worsened.

Another damage was that blood penetrated into the alveoli because the Capillary permeability increased, which aggravated the disease.

At the moment, the symptoms of continued high fever and difficulty breathing appeared. The patient had to be treated in hospitals.

In the hospital, the patient’s lung CT showed a clear “ground glass shadow” shape, which is a typical symptom of coronavirus.

Now this case was said confirmed.

However, it was not the end. Coronavirus did not stopped in patient body. Because of lots of holes in the lung, the virus now was able to enter into blood vessels along with the flowing blood, and began further damage to the body.

5 Days Ago

The coronavirus reached the liver organs. Liver is a very important and critical organ in the body. Liver has strong performance of filtering toxins in human body, regenerating and protection functions.

The protection mechanism was triggered and started the fight against coronavirus. The war between the white blood cells and coronavirus was explosive and continuously. At last, the patient became hepatic failure and show the symptoms of respiratory failure. A ventilator have to be used.

In the patient’s blood report, doctors found an abnormal amount of enzymes, which indicated that there was a terrible inflammatory storm in the patient’s body.

3 Days Ago

Coronavirus reached the kidney. Same story happened. The fighting between coronavirus and immune cells (white blood cells for example) hurt the inner cells of kidney, glomerulus. Glomerulus was damaged and lost its basic function, and eventually lead to acute kidney failure.

Kidney failure is deathful. In SARS period, 91.7% patient with acute kidney failure died at last.

And during the last time of a coronavirus patient, doctors found the virus in the patient’s excrement. It is terrible and horrible of the spread of coronavirus.

Meanwhile, multiple organ failure was found in the patient body. The doctor found the troponin index in patients was ten times myocardial infarction patient. The heart and digestive organs of the patient failed consequently.

1 Days Ago

At Last, human body failed this war with Coronavirus.

That is the whole process of Coronavirus damage human body.

We don’t have to panic, because most patients infected with coronavirus are cured during the pneumonia stage, and only 2% of the patients have been multiple organ failure.

Please note and keep in mind that Coronavirus is able to be cured and controlled.

Kind Reminder

Wearing masks when going out, disinfecting more frequently, keeping enough social distance and staying more time at home, Coronavirus spread would be contained and controlled soon.
