SARS

The technical term SARS stands for "Severe acute respiratory syndrome". This condition is caused by a type of very well known virus these days called "Coronavirus", but it is not Covid-19, it is "Cov-1".  The first outbreak of SARS was in 2003, Asia, and afterward, it spread to many countries. There are no more cases of SARS since 2004.  The scientists of China found out the origin of this Syndrome Horseshoe bats found in Asia.  The symptoms of this disease include fever, flu, muscle strains, fatigue, cough, painful throat, and other symptoms that can vary from patient to patient. However, the thing which is common to all kinds of patients is fever.  The SARS can convert itself to a severe viral infection which can lead to Pneumonia.  The SARS travels to other patients through several routes however, the basic contact comes through sneezing in which the droplets of mucus can transfer from one person to the other.  Currently, there is no vaccination present to treat SARS. However, the only means for preventing this viral disease is becoming isolated or practicing quarantine.

SARS

What are the long-term effects of SARS? SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus. It was first identified in 2002 and spread to more than two dozen countries before it was contained. While most people who contracted SARS recovered, some experienced long-term health effects. Im interested in learning more about the potential long-term effects of SARS and how they can be managed. Can anyone provide information on this topic?
