COVID-19 is a generation after SARS and
MERS from the Coronavirus family.
Either COVID-19 developed from SARS and or MERS,
changed its behaviour to be transmitted from animals to humans and as a result spread
via human-to-human transmission with much larger global spread than SARS &
MERS.
This means, formation of new variety and species
(Evolution).
According to, Hugo de Vries (1901):
“Evolution is a jerky process where new
varieties and species are formed by mutations (discontinuous variations) that
function as raw material of evolution”.
A mutation, in biology, is an alteration in
the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or
extrachromosomal DNA.
Mutations arise spontaneously at low
frequency owing to the chemical instability of purine and pyrimidine bases and
to errors during DNA replication. Natural exposure of an organism to certain
environmental factors, such as ultraviolet light and chemical carcinogens.
Looks – clearly – that nature is loudly and
strongly replying to our bad acts.
Pollution accelerates the sequence of
mutation.
Balance should happen in the smallest “Eco niche”
as well as “Planet Earth”- or else - “Destruction”!
We are inside a closed atmosphere everything
directly affect us. It takes sometime but this time decreases as “Pollution”
increases.

We will recover – no doubt – but we have to
learn from this hard lesson from nature. No one knows how hard it will be the
next “Epidemic”
“Stay at home” is the main and most
effective way to control virus spread and give scientists a room of time to
finalize the formulation of vaccine.
COVID-19 is a weak virus; every normal
person can destroy with her/his immunology system without feeling. Problem
is with persons with other diseases and elders (70+) where immunology system as
well as general heath affected by age.
“Staying at home prevents
you being a carrier of virus to spread to our beloved elders”
Again, each and every one should give a
hand to stop “Pollution” directly by controlling individual behavior and
indirectly by advising others and force decision makers to take actions.
Governments should focus on environment safety
and consequently, everything will recover starting from economy.
The article is very interesting and I fully share its content.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it is undeniable that there is a correlation between air pollution and covid 19. The lungs of the inhabitants of the highly contaminated areas are already damaged by large quantities of fine dust which makes them more exposed to diseases related to the respiratory system.
