“Prevention is better than Cure”
Virus is lives, naturally appears and develops. We have natural resistivity power to fight against all types of microbes. So using mask & sanitizers, staying quarantine or isolation is actually not solution, just it can be little bit precautions. Only one final solution or permanent solution is to empower our natural or intrinsic original immunity.
The immune system: innate and adaptive immunity
There are continuous advances in our current understanding of the immune system and how it functions to protect the body from infection. The immune system refers to a collection of cells, chemicals and processes that function to protect the skin, respiratory passages, intestinal tract and other areas from foreign antigens, such as microbes (organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites), viruses, cancer cells, and toxins. Beyond, the structural and chemical barriers which protect us from infection, the immune system can be simplistically viewed as having two “lines of defense”: innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
Innate immunity represents the first line of defense to an intruding pathogen. It is an antigen-independent (non-specific) defense mechanism that is used by the host immediately or within hours of encountering an antigen. Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is antigen-dependent and antigen-specific and, therefore, involves a lag time between exposure to the antigen and maximal response.
In case this immunity is down and weak, the microbes from outsides can attack in the body. Then it slowly makes us infection.
