Question 11 of 37
11. Question
1 pointsVaccines are
- a mutated form of bacteria
- a mutated form of virus
Correct
Vaccines are like a training course for the immune system.
Immune cells called lymphocytes respond by producing antibodies, which are protein molecules. These antibodies fight the invader known as an antigen.
When vaccines is injected, vaccine can’t cause an infection, but the immune system still sees them as an enemy and produces antibodies in response. After the threat has passed, many of the antibodies will break down, but immune cells also called memory cells remain in the body.
When the body encounters that antigen again, the memory cells produce antibodies fast and strike down the invader before it’s too late.Vaccine can be mutated version of virus or bacteria example Polio drop vaccine is a vaccine against mutated virus and BCG vaccine is a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis (TB)

Question 16 of 37
16. Question
1 pointsWhich Phase of COVID-19 will not come by the end of Oct 2020 , in Countries like Italy if worsen
Correct
Phase 1 :- In this phase a pandemic sweeping the globe, cases are imported into a country in which the infection did not originate .The first case of COVID-19 outside China was reported in Thailand.
Phase 2 :- When the virus starts being transmitted locally. Local transmission means that the source of the infection is from within a particular area and the trajectory the virus has taken from one person to the next is clearly established.
Phase 3:- Community transmission “is evidenced by the inability to relate confirmed cases through chains of transmission for a large number of cases, or by increasing positive tests through sentinel samples.
-
- In layman terms, it means that the virus is now circulating in the community, and can infect people with no history either of travel to affected areas or of contact with an infected person.
-
- If and when community transmission happens, there might arise the need for a full lockdown because in that situation it is theoretically possible for every person, regardless of where they are from and who they have been in contact with, to spread the disease.
Phase 4:- It is when the disease, COVID-19 in this case, becomes endemic in some countries meaning they occur round the year across the country for malaria and dengue are example endemic in India

Question 24 of 37
24. Question
1 pointsConsider these
- For the COVID-19 disinfection we can use Fumigator & Sprayer
- Stronger bodies don’t imply better immunity against COVID-19
Correct
- Coronaviruses spread through droplet transmission. These droplets stick to the solid surfaces and mix with liquids. The Virus doesn’t spread through air. So sprayer is used not the fumigator.
- Of course, fit athletes will not suffer the worst of it but everyone is vulnerable. Everyone needs to take utmost precautions and follow protocol.

Question 25 of 37
25. Question
1 pointsSoap is a good disinfectant against the Corona virus because
Correct
viruses tend to be made up of 3 things:
-
- Nucleic acid genome (their genetic material: either DNA or RNA ).
- Protein, which encases the nucleic acid and aids viral replication inside a host body.
- Fatty outer layer of lipids
Connections between these three component parts provide the structure of the virus, but those connections are weak.
Soap contains fat-like compounds called amphiphiles, which are similar to the lipids found in the virus membrane, when soap comes into contact with these fatty substances, it binds with them and causes them to disconnect from the virus. It also forces the virus to disengage from the skin.

Question 33 of 37
33. Question
1 pointsRo, or R-naught , basic reproduction number, is
Correct
Ro(pronounced “R-naught”)
- For disease outbreaks, epidemiologists have a term for describing the average number of people an infected individual will spread an illness to in a susceptible population.
- If the R0 is less than one, the outbreak will fizzle out
- If it is greater than one, the outbreak will continue.
- The current estimated Ro for the novel coronavirus varies from two to three, placing it somewhere near SARS’s Ro of two to four in 2003 but much lower than measles’s Ro of 12 to 18.
Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is spreading. Science uses this one number to figure out just how fast.
