CORONA: THE WORLD THOUGHTEST TIME...Currently, The World is going through a very tough period or we can call this one of the toughest periods of ‘Human History’. Where a tiny virus is responsible for the death of more than 75,000 people in the whole world. And, the counting of the death toll is still increasing exponentially. So we need to understand what coronavirus is and how it is creating havoc on earth. The coronavirus outbreak came to light on December 31, 2019, when China informed the World Health Organization of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of an unknown cause in Wuhan City in Hubei Province. Subsequently, the disease spread to more Provinces in China, and to the rest of the world. The WHO has now declared it a pandemic. The virus has been named SARS-CoV-2 and the disease is now called COVID-19,
So according to information available on the website of the World Health Organization: “Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.” Coronaviruses are a specific family of viruses, with some of them causing less-severe damage, such as the common cold, and others causing respiratory and intestinal diseases. A coronavirus has many “regularly arranged” protrusions on its surface, because of which the entire virus particle looks like an emperor’s crown, hence the name “coronavirus”. The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow). At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. So the best way to contain the spread of coronavirus is by strictly following social distancing and do proper hand wash and by wearing the mask every time you go outside.
