To prevent the community transmission people are used N-95 mask or simple mask. The diameter of the corona virus is 6 to 140nm. So, this mask can’t prevent entry of this virus. So, a new redesigned mask is prepared, ‘CORO-X’ for the making of the mask nanoparticles are used. Total three layers are present in this mask. First and third layer is simple filtration layer and the second layer is nano particle layer where metals like silver and copper are present. Nano particles contain more surface area compare to microparticles. Polymer adsorption properties play important role to destroy the virus.

The Spread of Coronavirus in The Air
The question of how the coronavirus spreads in the air is being considered. It is shown that the existing ideas about the spread of the virus as particles are unconvincing. It is shown that the coronavirus can spread as an electromagnetic wave modulated by the natural frequency of the coronavirus. Numerous analogies are pointed out. Possible methods of dealing with the pandemic are proposed, which require studying the physics of the propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the air and the interaction of organic molecules through the exchange of electromagnetic radiation.

A Potential Mechanism for Triggering Cytokine Storm in Covid-19 Patients
Harald Harald Butterweck and Alfred Weber*
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can result in severe disease characterized by cytokine storm and systemic inflammation. Despite huge efforts, there is only initial evidence that the humoral immune response and particularly the development of antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein could play a decisive role for disease severity. Here, we present the opinion that severe Covid-19 disease could be co-triggered by anti-SARS-Cov-2 nucleoprotein antibodies, which are cross-reactive with human interleukin-11 and inhibit its anti-inflammatory and tissue protective function

Balancing Immunity in a Setting of Covid-19
DOI: 10.31031/GGS.2020.06.000632
Only precautionary measures are practical at the moment in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and one such measure is balancing self-immunity. The recent findings about the durability of COVID-19 antibodies in the infected people has put some concerns about the prospects of long-term immunisation methods. In such circumstances, one way of protecting from COVID-19 is by enhancing one’s own immune mechanisms. Unfortunately, there is less discussion about this serous issue. Elderly patients are at a higher risk of getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 and should be mindful of balancing the immunity. Adherents of Integrated medicine seem to have more awareness of different facets of immunity and they go beyond the conventional methods. Immunological research is in a st.....
