The life cycle of a #virus typically includes the following stages:
Attachment – Virus binds to the host cell surface.
Penetration – Virus or its genetic material enters the host cell.
Uncoating – Viral capsid is removed, releasing the genetic material.
Replication – Viral genome is replicated using host machinery.
Assembly – New viral particles are assembled.
Release – New viruses are released, often destroying the host cell.

✅ Step-by-step priority actions:
Call for help 🆘
Activate emergency response – do this immediately.
Give high-flow oxygen 💨
Usually via a non-rebreather mask at 15 L/min.
Administer intramuscular adrenaline 💉
500 micrograms (0.5 mL of 1:1000) IM into the mid-anterolateral thigh.
Can repeat every 5 minutes if no improvement.
Administer salbutamol nebulisers if wheeze is present and prescribed
5mg via oxygen-driven nebuliser.
Not a first-line treatment, but can relieve bronchospasm.
