Origin legend
Covid-19 arrived directly from China at the end of 2019 and is one of the mutations of the coronavirus. A large scientific association of microbiology in the United States has put forward the following assumption: Presumably, the source of the virus was bats that ate diseased fish. Subsequently, the mice, already infected with the mutated virus, were eaten by snakes. Then it served as food for people. As a result, people were infected with a new mutant strain of Covid-19. There is no scientific evidence for this version, but it is just an assumption. By the way, we are trying to challenge Brazilian virologists. The problem is that, in their opinion, snakes, as representatives of cold animals, cannot be infected with this virus. To date, the coronavirus has not been fully studied, so some things can be said for sure.
Symptoms of COVID-19
- Increased fatigue;
- Spent breath;
- Increase in body temperature to 38. 5;
- Sore throat;
- Shortness of breath
- Joint pain;
- Weakness and general malaise.
- Dry cough.
The incubation period can reach 2-14 days. People over 65, people with weakened immune systems and those with one or more chronic diseases are at particular risk.
Despite the danger of the disease, about 75% of infected people easily tolerate it. Of course, all of the above symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of ordinary atypical pneumonia. Therefore, in order to diagnose or exclude the presence of antibodies in the blood, it is necessary to promptly seek qualified help from your doctor. The main feature of this respiratory disease is that it affects the lower respiratory tract, that is, the bronchi and lungs. As a result, infected people are often diagnosed with various types of pneumonia, which, unfortunately, can lead to death.
Methods of infection
Unfortunately, being one of the most dangerous types of respiratory diseases, coronaviruses are transmitted through airborne droplets. In addition, the disease is dangerous through contact with an infected person and through contact with contaminated surfaces. On hard surfaces, Covid-19 can remain viable for approximately one week.

As mentioned above, Covid-19 easily penetrates mucous membranes and affects the immune system of healthy people. So what about quarantine kissing and intimacy? After all, leading virologists strongly recommend
- Avoid large events, avoid gatherings of large numbers of people.
- Always wear a mask and gloves indoors and on public transport.
Romance in such conditions can be discussed. However, on a youth forum the question is asked: “Can you get infected with Covid-19 by kissing?” The answer is obvious — yes!
Attention! The most dangerous viruses are easily transmitted from the mucous membranes of infected people to the mucous membranes of healthy people. However, according to some WHO data, there is no information about the content of the virus in male semen or vaginal secretions. Does this mean that sexual intercourse is safe? Maybe. However, we must admit that it is very difficult to imagine intimacy without touching and kissing. Therefore, health authorities unanimously warn “young people” and “hots” and strongly recommend that they refrain from romantic dates, as well as from contact with potential carriers of this virus. The virus is extremely unpredictable and poses a real threat not only to your health, but also to life in general.

Is there a risk of re-infection?
Scientists disagree on this issue. However, so far we know about the positive dynamics of the use of plasma from people infected with COVID-19. Therefore, there is reason to believe that antibodies are present. However, cases of re-infection have also been identified.
The best virologists in the world are working to create a vaccine against the most dangerous viruses.
Way out of the situation
Until now, no one knows the exact end date of the pandemic. Every day there are more and more outbreaks of this hidden disease around the world. Meanwhile, outside the window is the most romantic time of the year: spring. People in self-isolation are gradually starting to get used to this situation. Many remember their favorite hobbies and enjoy the fruits of their perseverance, looking at incredibly beautiful photographs. Some have become interested in a new business, some have mastered the latest digital technologies, others are busy improving their own home and creating comfort. And someone is in a state of forced isolation, simply enjoying communication and education. But what about a young man whose blood boils and whose heart yearns for love and affection? Luckily, there are great alternatives in the form of virtual communication and even the infamous sexting. Thanks to the latter, you can diversify your communication with your chosen one (lover) and add a spicy note to it. Nowadays, flirting in the virtual world is not only possible, but also necessary. And most importantly — it”s safe! By the way, such experiments provide protection against the terrible coronavirus, as well as other dangerous sexually transmitted diseases.
Despite the fact that virologists regularly mention that the risk of infection in young people is lower than in others, and the disease itself is mild, doctors’ recommendations should not be taken lightly. Each human body is individual, and it is impossible to predict how the virus will behave in each specific case. The main danger of COVID-19 is that the disease can be asymptomatic for quite a long period of time. This means that each of us is at risk of contracting one or another infection. Therefore, now more than ever it is important to think first of all about your health and the health of your loved ones. Take the recommendations of medical professionals responsibly and never violate the quarantine system. Remember that you may pay a high price for being careless. By following all recommendations, the terrible consequences of COVID-19 can be avoided or, in any case, significantly minimized. And in the near future, we will be able to safely communicate, fall in love and kiss our loved ones with all our hearts. There are very few of them left.
