Without success,,,

I have been trying to find information on how people recover from Corvid-19 - i mean at a biological process level 

 

Seems a search engine fixation on how to catch the disease , how many die , what to do to reduce infection but nothing on how the body defeats the SARS-CoV-2 virus

 

Anyone out there had any luck in finding any information ?

Doesn't make any sense to me, once it enters the respiratory system you're done, no amount of flushing will wash it away.


The point is, frequent sips of water will flush the virus down into the stomach before it can make it's way into the respiratory system.

I don't know why this is so hard to grasp for some ppl! It's so bloody simple!

 

But you're right Joe. Once it's in the lungs, drinking lots water won't flush it out of the respiratory system.

 

By then, you've got it. You will probably be sick for a cpl of weeks.

 

You should still stay hydrated though.

Not a bad idea.

As I understand it, the virus is mostly transmitted from the hand to the mouth and nose. Hence the need to wash hands often and thoroughy.

 

From there it would enter the lungs via the trachea, as it would also, if inhaled.

 

However, frequent sips of water would flush the virus down the oesophagus and into the stomach, before it could make it's way to the  the lungs.

 

Gastric acids in the stomach would destroy the virus.

 

I haven't heard or read anything about the virus entering the bloodstream. That's a new one on me.

 

It's a respiratory virus.


The virus can also enter the bloodstream, and may be able to infect the gastrointestinal system, causing symptoms like diarrhea and indigestion. The infection can also directly damage organs including the heart, kidneys, and liver, and cause bone marrow to become inflamed. Small blood vessels may also be vulnerable to inflammation.

Ok, now I get what you are saying. But viruses multiply quickly and many would enter the mouth or nose. I doubt drinking water would catch them all. Re the bloodstream; have you heard some people are dying because the virus has travelled to the vital organs? Guess how they got there?

Probably not, but it could make the difference between being very sick or making a quick recovery.

I give up! How?

What part don't you get?

“It (COVID-19) binds to cells in the upper part of your nose and throat. Drinking water won’t necessarily wash it away because it gets stuck in the material up there,” he said.

 

“As the cells burst open and release the virus, viral particles can move down the respiratory tract and infect lower respiratory tract epithelial cells,” the Department of Health spokesperson said.

 

“This will occur whether or not water is sipped.”

Does not really matter anyhow - as the the virus can only enter a cell with one specific component ( think called ACE2 entry receptor ) , found in human lungs and intestine ( also ferret lungs - those with cherished pet ferrets take precautions )

More to that which matters , still not to late to start enhancing health of those organs associated with the immune system

some good reading here
