Wearing A Face Mask In Public The very reason why wearing a face mask is much needed is not just to protect ourselves but to filter in the virus (if we are infected) and prevent its transmission. The minimum requirement of the type of face mask to be used   are multi-layered (two or more), breathable and washable fabric that completely covers your nose and mouth. But, it is more recommended to wear surgical mask or N-95 because it is already made to filter minute organisms. It is also important to know that you shouldn't touch your mask   while you wear it as it might be contaminated. In removing your mask, hold it on its ear strings and dispose or put it somewhere safe.     Proper Sanitization At All Times The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends to practice proper hygiene. Always bring with you a 60-90% alcohol or alcohol based gel as this concentration provides elimination of certain bacteria and virus including SARSCOV2. If your hands are soiled,...

It has been more than a year since the outbreak started and spread like wildfire across countries in less than a week.  A debilitating infection that pushed people to stay at home, decrease most countries' economic performance, a war faced by our health workers and government officials -- that may be imprinted in the minds of today's generation forever; COVID-19 and what should we know about it in a medical perspective?   COVID-19 refer to the disease itself which means Coronavirus Disease 2019. It is caused by SARSCOV2 or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, the name of the virus. Coronavirus, in general, is a large family of viruses which includes causing illnesses like MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome). It is a zoonotic virus -- pass between animals and humans.

Hello there! How is May so far? I'm working on a by group baby thesis at the moment. Just one last requirement to fulfill then I can have my desired vacation. Not really a desire one but I'm pretty sure that I'll be working on my own thesis topic, review for medical exam if possible and do work out ( yeah~). But anyways, I just want to share something cool now.   If you didn't know I'm a 3rd year Biology student by the way. For being under the program of Biology, I learned a lot especially on fun facts.  Biology filled up the holes in my brain.  I never thought that some living organisms that surrounds us have a weird and surprising way of life. So here I am wanting to share the things I learned from my Biology teachers. Without further ado, let's run through it! Jellyfishes are immortal. They only die due to circumstances like killing them or habitat change. According to my teacher, scientists are already cracking the code of their immortality...
