When infected with coronavirus, a person may suddenly notice that he is eating food but does not smell. Loss of sense of smell or anosmia is a symptom of corona. However, this is not the case for everyone. But if someone is to understand, the virus has made the process of smelling in his nose ineffective, even if only temporarily. A large article on the subject was published on September 21 at SmithsonianMag.com. It explains why and how many corona patients develop anosmia. Experts at Harvard Medical School also have a number of studies on corona-anosmia. A research paper was also published in the journal Science Advances on July 24. The olfactory neurons inside our nose send olfactory signals to the brain. As a result, we experience a variety of odors. But the corona often impairs the functioning of these neurons. In this condition the patient may lose the sense of smell. Advertising It is important to note that coronaviruses do not directly destroy neurons. But it damages the cells that help it to function. So researchers believe that even if a corona patient ever loses sense of smell, it is not a permanent matter. Because neurons are not destroyed. So when the corona is relieved, the damaged olfactory neural circuit gradually returns to its active position. However, it takes a long time. Experts believe that it may take a month or even a couple of years. Further research is underway in this regard. Why young people are being attacked at a higher rate As we heard at the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic, children and young people are at lower risk. Older people are at higher risk. But recently, it has been seen that young people in the age group of 20-40 are also being affected. In the United States in particular, many at this age are being infected at a higher rate than ever before. The US CDC (Center for DGC Control and Prevention) has expressed concern over this information. Advertising The Los Angeles Times published a report on September 23. The report cites an explanation from the CDC as to why this is happening. The CDC says many young people work in restaurants, shops, childcare centers or similar workplaces. They have to talk and work with a lot more people. On the other hand, young people of this age usually do not want to wear a mask. They roam freely in crowded places. As a result, the rate of infection among them is increasing. We see such a trend in our country too. Caution is needed in this regard. What can happen if the school is opened? Necessary preparations have been made to open the schools recently. We need to think carefully about this and make a decision. Many parents are worried. Because, the religion of children and teenagers is mischief. When the school opens, they will be able to hang out with friends freely. Many will not use masks. Many may not be able to afford to buy a mask. They may not have the patience to follow the rules of maintaining the required distance with friends and washing their hands with soap repeatedly. This means that there is a risk of the coronavirus spreading quickly. Winter is coming. Experts and policymakers say the incidence of corona may increase. A few other countries have seen an increase in the incidence of corona after school opened. So they decided to close the school again. These are the things we need to keep in mind when deciding to open a school. Again, it is right to continue studying. If necessary, there is an initiative to take the system of online classes on BTV and other TV channels to all, if it is made available to all students, it may be possible to overcome the deficit in studies.
