What happens when you get the coronavirus disease? 

COVID-19 alert

People with COVID-19 generally develop signs and symptoms, including mild respiratory symptoms and fever, on an average of 5-6 days after infection (mean incubation period 5-6 days, range 1-14 days). 

Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus have mild disease and recover.

What are the symptoms of the coronavirus disease?

The most common symptoms are 

(1) fever, 

(2) cough, 

(3) shortness of breath, and 

(4) breathing difficulties. 

In more severe cases the infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and even death. 

The period within which the symptoms would appear is 2-14 days.

• Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.
• People could catch COVID-19 by touching contaminated surfaces or objects – and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. 
• We know it is possible for people of any age to be infected with the virus, but so far there are relatively few cases of COVID-19 reported among children. 
• The virus can cause a range of symptoms, ranging from mild illness to pneumonia. Symptoms of the disease are fever, cough, sore throat and headaches.

Can Tesla, GM And Ford Help Solve The Coronavirus Ventilator Shortage?

The global coronavirus outbreak has pushed the U.S. health system to the brink. Hospitals are already running out of basic supplies like masks, eye gear, gowns and ventilators. Ventilators are key in helping keep people with the most severe cases of COVID-19 alive, but with the number of infected rising daily, there are not nearly enough of them and no easy way to get more. Here is a look at what governments are doing and how automakers like Ford, GM and Tesla are trying to help.
