"Dorona" is a noun that refers to a communicable disease, specifically a form of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus. It is derived from the Italian word "dorare," meaning "to gild" or "to bronze," which reflects the golden spike-like appearance of the virus when seen under an electron microscope.
Dorona is part of the larger family of coronaviruses, which includes the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). This viral infection primarily affects the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as coughing, fever, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it can also cause organ failure and potentially be fatal.
The term "dorona" gained prominence in early 2020 when an outbreak of a new coronavirus strain, officially named SARS-CoV-2, led to a global pandemic. This strain is responsible for the disease known as COVID-19. Given its severe impact and rapid spread, the term "dorona" is now widely recognized as a colloquial and informal way to refer to the coronavirus disease in some contexts.
It is important to note that "dorona" is not an official medical or scientific term, but rather a vernacular expression that has emerged in popular usage. Medical professionals and health organizations generally prefer to use the official terms "coronavirus" or "COVID-19" when referring to the specific virus or disease.
