Genomic Researcher with Specialization in Handling Small-Scale Outbreaks and Pandemic Scale (Genomic Epidemiology), Dr Dhany Saputra said, the corona virus or COVID-19 which attacks the respiratory system in humans, has mutated into hundreds of types since its appearance in December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
6 Things Revealed by Indonesian Epidemic Genomic Researchers About the Corona Virus, Mutations to Remdesivir", the following is a summary.
1. Mutate really fast
Not a few research experts to find out how mutations are formed in the virus that has attacked 212 countries and territories.
In general, Outbreak Genomic Researcher Dr. Dhany Saputra responded that mutation is the nature of the virus as has happened with the recent corona virus.
"So in general the virus is indeed in its nature, in its nature it is easy to mutate. It's not only coronavirus, all types of viruses," said Dhany.
2. Corona virus can be handled but many died
There are certain ways that can be done to immediately resolve the corona virus pandemic according to Dr. Danny Saputra.
"The first one was fast and many died or (the second) took a long time, a few died, maybe even people who are sick with coughing and colds," he said.
The first way is to let the corona virus spread so that more patients are exposed than the number of doctors.
There is no need for physical distancing, lockdown, or PSBB to prevent the spread so that it is easy and fast.
More and more people are infected with the virus, over time, herd immunity will appear or become immune to the cause of infection because they have been sick before.
The implementation of strict restrictions on community activities also affects the mutation of the corona virus itself.
According to Dhany, this policy was taken by developed countries in Scandinavia, namely Denmark, Finland, and Norway.
3. Vaccines may not work
Dr. Dhany Saputra said in his interview that mutations do not just happen, but are influenced by the antibodies of infected humans.
4. The experimental drug Remdesivir is considered to have strong potential to cure the corona virus.
The development of the experimental drug Remdesivir, which was previously used to treat Ebola in West Africa in 2018 has proven to be quite effective.
5. Corona virus can be killed by washing hands
The researcher emphasized that washing hands regularly is the most effective technique to prevent corona virus infection.
"So, so that it doesn't reach our internal bodies, for example, like touching our faces, rubbing our eyes, or something like that, we have to wash our hands first," said Dhany.
"Basically, it has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. So, the hydrophilic will bind water, hate fat, and hydrophobic it hates water and binds fat." he said.
That fat becomes the envelope or wrapping of the virus so that everyone is expected to wash their hands often to stay healthy.
6. Don't spray disinfectant
All are trying to take various preventive actions including spraying disinfectants on buildings and people.
But the genomics researcher warns of the dangers of doing so.
According to him, the disinfectant liquid that usually comes from clothes bleach is quite effective in killing the corona virus.
