Image
Coronavirus appears to spread more slowly than the flu. This is probably the biggest difference between the two . It's important to remember that antibiotics won't help any viral infections. They both spread by contact -   Touching a contaminated person or surface and then touching your face is a surefire way to get sick. (It is also possible that Covid-19 can be spread via droplets in the air from an infected person’s cough or sneeze.)   Many of the symptoms are similar -  they both target the respiratory system, and in varying ways. Both cause fevers, tiredness, and coughing. Severe respiratory cases can become pneumonia, which can kill.  Here are six differences between coronavirus and the flu: 1.

Image
Breast cancer may be a disease during which cells within the breast grow out of control. There are different kinds of breast cancer. The kind of breast cancer depends on which cells within the breast become cancer. Breast cancer can begin in several parts of the breast. A breast is made from three main parts: lobules, ducts, and connective tissue. The lobules are the glands that produce milk. The ducts are tubes that carry milk to the nipple. The connective tissue (which consists of fibrous and fatty tissue) surrounds and holds everything together. Most breast cancers begin within the ducts or lobules. Breast cancer can spread outside the breast through blood vessels and lymph vessels. When carcinoma spreads to other parts of the body, it's said to have metastasized.

Even in less challenging times, many of us try to avoid close contact with someone who is sneezing, coughing, or running a fever to avoid getting sick ourselves. Our attention to such issues has now been dramatically heightened by the emergence of a novel coronavirus causing a pandemic of an illness known as COVID-19 . Many have wondered if we couldn’t simply protect ourselves by avoiding people with symptoms of respiratory illness. Unfortunately, the answer is no. A new study shows that simply avoiding symptomatic people will not go far enough to curb the COVID-19 pandemic . That’s because researchers have discovered that many individuals can carry the novel coronavirus without showing any of the typical symptoms of COVID-19 : fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath . But these asymptomatic or only mildly ill individuals can still shed virus and infect others. Social distancing puts space between people. If someone is sick and there are no people around, the vi...
