Earlier when it had very few cases reported, It was called as the Novel CoronaVirus.Now the scientists have named it as SARS-CoV-2.Because this virus is very similar to the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus that had spread in 2003. And the disease caused by this virus has been named COVID-19. This is the microbiological image of the causative virus under a microscope.You can observe that the Corona Virus has a crown like structure,which is used to connect to the receptors present inside our body when it enters in. At the rate at which the this virus is spreading,cities worldwide has been locked down to contain its spread.Schools,restaurants,shops,cinemas,gyms,Air travel-all has been shut down.And I will tell you the exact reasoning behind doing all this later in the blog.

1.SYMPTOMS OF THE VIRUS First let us look at the symptoms-All the cases in CHINA have been analyzed by the doctors and researchers to find out the exact symptoms of COVID-19. You can see this analysis. Looking at this we can summarise that if you have fever or dry cough then there are higher chances that you have covid-19. If you have common cold then The biggest symptom is the runny nose.But the factor of runny nose in COVID-19 has only been in 5% of the cases. When compared with FLU ,shortness of breath is a huge difference.If you are having difficulty in breathing then this is the symptom of covid 19 .It is not a symptom of the common cold or influenza. Another important thing regarding the symptoms that has been said by the WHO is that only mild symptoms are visible in 80% of the covid-19 cases.

Generally,on average ,it can take 5-6 days for symptoms to show up in your body.But you are contagious in 5-6 days,i.e. you can spread infections to others. That is what makes COVID-19 extremely dangerous.

2.CHANCES OF DEATHS If we divide the total number of deaths by the total number of cases worldwide,now this number would emerge to be around 6%.But experts still believe that the mortality rate of COVID-19 is only around 2%,because there are a lot of cases which are not being reported .

In the case of China it has been seen that there have been deaths in 15% of the cases if age is 80+.



There are a lot of countries that are asking people to come for tests only when symptoms are visible.But we have seen that only mild symptoms are visible in a lot of cases And a lot of people are being rejected for testing as sufficient testing is not available.In the case of China it has been seen that there have been deaths in 15% of the cases if age is 80+.













So now it is clear that COVID- 19 is more deadly for the elderly. Moreover these elderly people had various health issues such has Cardiovascular disease, Diabetes, Chronic respiratory disease, High Blood Pressure(Hypertension), cancer etc. 3.GERMANY AND SOUTH KOREA

Three main reasons have been put forward in the case of Germany.

1.The first reason is that 70% of the Corona virus cases is in the young people in Germany ,which is 20-50 years age group.

And these are those people that had come to spend their vacations skiing in Italy.So these were the first people to bring the infection to Germany an so the majority of cases are in the young people and since young people have a better chance of survival there have been less deaths in Germany.

2.The second reason given by a German Virologist was -TEST, TEST, TEST!

Germany took testing very seriously and has been conducting test on a very large scale of the common people.



3.And the third reason has been said to be the good health care system of Germany.The hospital beds availability in Germany is far better in comparison with other countries.

And in a research it was found that Germany leads Europe in hospital bed capacity(2014).



South Korea is another example which has been very successful in containing the spread of COVID-19.The same reasons have been told behind this.There are sufficient number of hospital beds in that country.Testing was conducted on a large scale and the infected people were kept isolated.So great has South Korea’s examples been that the number of daily cases there have been declining.



If you look at the graph of the total number of COVID-19 test by each country you will see USA conducting the most number of cases

4.HOW DOES THE VIRUS SPREAD? According to latest information the virus is mainly spread through person-to-person contact.If you are in close contact with an infected person that is if you are around 6 feet close,Then you have very high chances of contracting the virus.

Another source is respiratory droplets,When an infected person coughs or sneezes then if the respiratory droplets that come out go inside your nose or mouth ,then you too can get the infection.

This corona virus Can we spread from one person to 2-3 persons. Having it’s Ro value as 2-3.



5.ECONOMIC IMPACTS

Due to the virus directly and due to the lockdown of the city as well as shut down of public places,The people have been unable to work. This will have economic impact on the world economy which hasn’t been seen in centuries.

Some governments have already declared they will pay salary to the people who are unable to go to work.The government will save the company is from being bankrupt and shutting down.In a lot of european countries in New Zealand, in UK and even in the US, It has been declared that government funds worth billions of dollars and being brought in to save people from its economic impact.

6.USA-CHINA CONFLICT It is difficult to ascertain the exact reason behind this but the experts have given their opinion on why this is happening.Three main reasons have been put forward in the case of Germany.1.The first reason is that 70% of the Corona virus cases is in the young people in Germany ,which is 20-50 years age group.And these are those people that had come to spend their vacations skiing in Italy.So these were the first people to bring the infection to Germany an so the majority of cases are in the young people and since young people have a better chance of survival there have been less deaths in Germany.2.The second reason given by a German Virologist was -TEST, TEST, TEST!Germany took testing very seriously and has been conducting test on a very large scale of the common people.3.And the third reason has been said to be the good health care system of Germany.The hospital beds availability in Germany is far better in comparison with other countries.And in a research it was found that Germany leads Europe in hospital bed capacity(2014).South Korea is another example which has been very successful in containing the spread of COVID-19.The same reasons have been told behind this.There are sufficient number of hospital beds in that country.Testing was conducted on a large scale and the infected people were kept isolated.So great has South Korea’s examples been that the number of daily cases there have been declining.If you look at the graph of the total number of COVID-19 test by each country you will see USA conducting the most number of casesThis corona virus Can we spread from one person to 2-3 persons.

You can watch this video where AMERICAN president Donald Trump calls corona virus a chinese Virus. USA has the most number of cases of CORONA patients.There are many conspiracy theories ,China says it was spread by American soldiers in CHINA, and AMERICA says CHINA is responsible for all the crisis in the world.But there is been no evidence to such Conspiracy theories,whether is it bio weapon?

So , A group of lawyers of America have filled a $20 trillion case on CHINA for the losses of America.And also USA economy will go into a recession.Also DONALD TRUMP has been blaming WHO for not getting correct information from CHINA has been saving CHINA.And there's been a lot of issues between these two countries in the past too.So we can see a tougher competition between these two countries and who will be the global leader after the pandemic gets over.I will make another blog on social distancing, graphs of corona virus,lockdown etc.
