The National 31 March 2021 letter to the editor Luimack Johnson
I understand the COVID 19 and its variants is a SARS virus which means that it is a respiratory virus that is airborne.
That means that we cover our noses with the mask. There are so many people who cover only their mouths and walk around in public places.
Once in your lungs, the virus enters the air pockets (alveoli) and enters a receptor and replicates itself very fast and then the cell dies.
Your immune system detects the foreign cell and floods your lungs with fluid. The lungs act like a sponge and soaks up the fluid and makes it hard for you to breathe normally.
It is commonly known as the Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). With no oxygen to your vital organs, your body starts to shut down.
Without medical intervention and use of ventilators, your body simply dies. In most cases there is little to do with medical conditions.
Oxford Astra Zeneca has 70% efficiency. Novavax has 83.3% efficiency Papua New Guinea should consider vaccines around the 96% efficiency mark.
