Most of the peoples who is doing research on COVID-19 believes that, its originated from eating bats, Here are some important facts why they believe that.

  1. Bats carry more than 200 viruses which can harm or protect humans.
  2. Ebola, Sars, Nipah and many other viruses believed or proved to be reached humans from their home in bats, getting in contact or eating bats Bodies.
  3. Studies in the early 2000s warned bats can cause the reemergence of the coronavirus.
  4. Bats get sick in winter.

Some people believe its originated in bats that carried by a Pangolin which chines use for eating and traditional medicines. Some studies says Corona Virus strain matches to strain of a virus in pangolin. Two things which are in question is that.

  1. If pangolin got it from bat, where they had eat bats, they are not usually a bat eater. Pangolin love eating termites and small insects.
  2. China used to have animal trafficking to sell all types of animal in market. That can be a possible cause of transmission or getting infected with this virus for a pangolin.

Since it doesn’t looks clear yet from where this virus is originated. Which transmission it has used before entering in human body and transmitting from one another. Here are some key things to note about COVID-19.

  1. Virus is originated in winter.
  2. One of its nature is body to body transmission. There are other modes of transmission with objects and air as well.
  3. Like another viruses it cause fever is also a common nature.
  4. Looks no other mammal than human is getting infected with this.

We believe we are smart, yes we are in some area like we got a mind to learn and experience 1% of our surroundings. Whatever we have learned is most from other species on earth. Here are the possibilities of a solution and why it’s hard to get.

  1. The origin is not clear yet. Which means we have no idea where it came from to know more what that animal or whatever do to fight this virus.
  2. From Nature it looks like it’s seasonal virus of any mammal, winters are at end. So some studies can even have wait of next year.
  3. Some Dr. are trying to get a solution from scratch. Which I don’t think will be possible. Treating symptoms can’t stop its harms.
  4. A study of mass bat deaths cause of viruses shows that, It happens in winter when they have less energy and use to live close to each others in caves. Which indicates virus don’t effect much in warmer weather. Other things it indicate is that bats have more energy, activeness and immunity in warmer seasons. So we can hope good from warmer weather.
  5. Pangolin also get most of viruses in winter, because it’s less energy and food for them in winter. So again we can hope good from warmer weather but thats not the solution. It can come again we needs to have immune system of everyone and every age group ready to fight for it.
  6. Above two studies and spread of virus in human in winter indicates some more common facts. Like Winter, It attack or cause more harms to one who have any weakness, Although it’s a case for all viruses peoples with any diseases are at more risk. Thats why people at higher age group and people with any diseases are at most risk.

Here is what Symptoms indicate.

  1. In many cases fiver indicate your body needs warmer temperature to fight the infection. Where as in many cases it is caused by the infection.
  2. Cough indicate your bodies throat and chest having irritation. The spread of virus starting in human body is from throat irritation, which is causing cough.
  3. Difficulty in breathing indicates your lungs and heart is not functioning good or your sinus is filed up with fluid most of the time.
  4. Runny nose with light liquid indicate thats your body temperature is high and its fighting with the infection. If it’s dark with yellow or greenish color it again means your body white cells(most commonly leukocyte) is increased which means it’s fighting with infection and cleaning the garbage after fight.

These symptoms can be treated easily most of the time either by herbs, home remedies, drugs and healthy eating. You can try treating symptoms with natural remedies like taking steam, drinking warmer water then your body temperature etc to ease your throat irritation, can make home cough syrups with Ayurvedic herbal powder mix and honey to ease cough, you can try natural herbs to keep yourself warm, can put camphor near you if you feel difficulty in breathing, if you are young, But here in case of COVID-19 these symptoms are never ending in cases of peoples with weakness. Which makes is a deadly one. The above key causes and some more facts making peoples think the solid solution for treating COVID-19 will take at list 12 to 18 months, winters of next year.

Above written things are my personal believes, experiences and facts from the study of COVID-19. They are not verified by any professionals. Right now the only Solution everyone have is to stop the spread of it. All Nations are taking necessary steps to stop the spread. It’s our responsibilities now to follow the guidelines and save peoples who are at higher risk.

Be Safe!!
