Cold weather and snow do not kill the COVID-19 virus. The virus lives in humans, not in the outdoors, though it can survive on surfaces. Even in cold weather, the body will stay at 36.5–37 degrees Celsius inside, and the COVID-19 virus will not be killed. Hot and humid conditions do not prevent COVID-19 from spreading, either.
The treatment and management of COVID-19 combines both supportive care, which includes treatment to relieve symptoms, fluid therapy, oxygen support as needed, [1] [2] [3] and a growing list of approved medications. Highly effective vaccines have reduced mortality related to SARS-CoV-2; however, for those awaiting vaccination, as well as for the ...

Dozens of captive animal species have been found infected or proven able to be experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The virus has also been found in over a dozen wild animal species. Most animal species that can get the virus have not been proven to be able to spread it back to humans.
The nucleocapsid (N) protein is a protein that packages the positive-sense RNA genome of coronaviruses to form ribonucleoprotein structures enclosed within the viral capsid. [2] [3] The N protein is the most highly expressed of the four major coronavirus structural proteins. [2] In addition to its interactions with RNA, N forms protein-protein ...
For the Netherlands, based on overall excess mortality, an estimated 20,000 people died from COVID-19 in 2020, [9] while only the death of 11,525 identified COVID-19 cases was registered.

Betacoronavirus (β-CoVs or Beta-CoVs) is one of four genera ( Alpha -, Beta-, Gamma-, and Delta-) of coronaviruses. Member viruses are enveloped, positive-strand RNA viruses that infect mammals, including humans. The natural reservoir for betacoronaviruses are bats and rodents. Rodents are the reservoir for the subgenus Embecovirus, while bats ...
