The Effects of Viruses

The Effects of Viruses

Viruses exist naturally in the human airways and usually go unnoticed. While a majority of viruses are harmless, impacting molecular exchanges between adjacent cells can have crucial and long-lasting implications on the respiratory tract. In their natural state, respiration viruses do not impact mortality or physiological health. However, their mere presence elicits immune symptoms. At the same time, recent novel viruses, particularly the coronavirus, trigger fatal outcomes associated with higher prevalence (Yadav & Moitra 684). This paper examines the public health and environmental effects triggered by respiration viruses, employing Yadav and Moitra's insights. The central characteristics of respiratory viruses include reversibility, lung inflammation, airway hyperactivity, and disabling airway exchange. The identified reversible characteristics of respiratory viruses imply that these pathogens do not affect public health because their impacts can be reversed after using medications (Yadav & Moitra 684). However, with the advent of coronavirus, the central characteristic of the virus was that it killed a significantly high population in a short duration without any documented treatment to reverse its impacts.
