Covid - 19 (Corona Virus)

     


     Covid - 19(Corona Virus), the phenomenon that stopped the world and locked it behind doors.  The Origin of the virus is a big debate as when I write this post, it might be an accident that happened in China, it might be a planned biological attack by China or it might have involved USA too.  Where ever it might have come from, the impact it has on this world is too much to handle.

     The virus was identified in Wuhan by Novmber 2019 and it started to spread fast.  Before we could understand what it is, Europe was badly hit, especially Italy which was followed by Spain and France.  UK was not far behind.  USA smartly closed doors for the flights from China, but it was too late as the virus by then has found its feet to Italy and through Italy to USA.  One big issue with Covid-19 is that the virus has no treatment and no vaccine.  If the affected person doesn't have sound immune system, it might end fatal.

     The virus spreads through droplets and was confirmed not Airborne.  The only way to prevent it from spreading is to maintain social distancing.  China had fantastic control over its people and enforced a forced lockdown for 2 months and got out of the disease.  Other countries by the time they could understand about lockdown and enforce it, there were 10s of thousands of cases got reported.

     When the world went under lockdown risking their country's economy, China announced that they have controlled the virus and were getting back to normal life.  More than that China started its business and tried to buy out companies around the world that were in loss due to Corona.  This irritated almost all countries.  

     India found out that Hydroxychloroquine helps in the treatment of Covid-19.  Hence it started mass production of this medicine.  Many countries placed order as this medicine found helping patients recover.  India decided to offer helping hand and is exporting medicines to other countries.  China is looking to make use of this situation to do business where as India is offering helping hand which has gained massive respect for India.

     Hope a cure for this virus is found quickly and help the world to get back on its feet.



Cheers!!!!!
