Corona Virus! Deadly for Elder People

Corona virus word is everywhere!

A group of viruses which cause diseases in living beings is known as corona virus. In human beings, it mostly effects the respiratory tract. Unfortunately there are no vaccines or cure for this virus. This virus is mainly transmitted through air while sneezing and coughing. The main symptoms of corona virus are fever and sore throat. Other symptoms are respiratory tract infections also it may lead to pneumonia and bronchitis.

Based on the recent survey, it has been found out that elder people are more at risk regarding corona virus. We can agree to this because the functioning of immune system in elder people gradually decreases and becomes weak to actively handle the diseases. So, the risk is high in elder people. Recent studies also show that mostly elder people are being highly effected by this corona virus.
