Autumn and winter is the high incidence of respiratory disease infections, its seasonal characteristics make the pathogenic microorganisms more active than other seasons, often appear aggregated disease, commonly known as the case of everyone getting sick together. New Coronavirus is a respiratory pathogen that causes New Coronavirus pneumonia, which has the same characteristics.

So why is fall and winter the most active seasons for respiratory pathogenic microorganisms?

First of all, the weather is very dry in autumn and winter, and the doors and windows are often closed for a long time. The infected person spews a lot of mucus containing pathogens through the nasopharynx when speaking, coughing or sneezing, which is suspended in the air for a long time, making it easier to produce indoor cross-infection. Secondly, during autumn and winter, the body's defenses are reduced, and when breathing cold air, the blood vessels in our nose will contract, which may result in white blood cells not reaching the nasal mucosa and not being able to kill the virus we inhaled, making us more susceptible to viral infections.

In addition, there is another important factor that affects viruses, and that is "temperature".

According to experts, viruses are microorganisms that like to be cold, so they are most active and virulent in winter, especially in the cold winter months, so they are more likely to cause outbreaks.

The new coronavirus is very sensitive to temperature, and once the temperature rises, or even keeps rising, the activity of its virus decreases, followed by a lack of spreading power. The virus attached to aerosol particles in the air is even more so, and its ability to survive at high temperatures is even weaker.

Experts say that the survival time of the new coronavirus in vitro depends on temperature and humidity, and is characterized by resistance to low temperatures and fear of heat; low temperatures increase the survival time of the virus, although it decreases the ability of the virus to reproduce. The best conditions for the survival of the new coronavirus are from -5 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius; at 20 degrees Celsius and 20% humidity, the new coronavirus attached to an object can survive for about 5 days.

Therefore, the cool autumn and winter seasons are also the peak of the current pandemic virus outbreak, the new coronavirus.

With such a high risk of infection in the fall and winter, we need to take protective measures against both influenza and Neoplasmosis. In case of fever, cough, or runny nose, it is necessary to consciously take a rapid nucleic acid test for Neovirus. Because influenza and NICs, which are both respiratory pathogens, cause very similar symptoms, they need to be identified by more sophisticated NICs.

The most commonly used tool is the "Nucleic Acid Rapid Test for New Coronas", which is generally performed by fluorescent quantitative PCR.

This sophisticated method generally requires four processes: sampling - sample pre-treatment - nucleic acid extraction - amplification and product analysis.

The principle is to purify and amplify the nucleic acids in the collected microorganisms to obtain a sample solution with high concentration and purity. It is then analyzed, using a fluorescent probe to bind to the specific nucleic acid fragment of the virus, label and report the fluorescent signal, and determine whether it is infected.

The highly accurate and rigorous PCR experiments enable accurate discrimination between influenza and neo-crown, allowing for more precise follow-up treatment! The fall and winter seasons are the high incidence of respiratory diseases, so if you have any symptoms, you should take the initiative to perform a rapid nucleic acid test for Neocon!
