How Corona Virus (COVID-19) was started

The COVID-19 (Corona Virus) has spread in 200+ countries including Italy, USA , UK , Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Dubai and Saudi Arabia in the world since it first arose in China in December 2019.  Round about 1.5 million people reported to be infected and more than 80,000 deaths have been recorded.

Corona viruses are a family of viruses that cause disease in animals. Seven, including the new virus, have made the jump to humans. Covid-19 is closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome. In the past several viruses swept in the world which infected many people and killed also, but they are easier to control as compare with COVID-19.   COVID-19 is to those viruses in that the spectrum of disease is broad, with around 80 per cent of cases leading to a mild infection. There may also be many people carrying the disease and displaying no symptoms, making it even harder to control. Scientists in the world believe that COVID-19 has mutated into two strains, one more aggressive than the other, which could make more complications developing a vaccine.

The source of COVID-19 is Wuhan City of China where both live and dead animals including dogs, Cats, fish and birds are sold. These markets pose a high risk of viruses transferring from animals to humans. The animal source of COVID-19 has not yet been identified, but the original host is thought to be bats. Bats were not sold at the Wuhan market but may have infected live chickens or other animals sold there. Bats are host to a wide range of zoonotic viruses.

First time human get the Corona virus (COVID-19) from contact with animals. Then it can spread person to person. Experts do not know what animal caused the Corona virus (COVID-19). Corona virus (COVID-19) can be spread with certain body fluids like droplets in a cough. It can also be caused by touching something to which an infected individual has contacted and then touching the hands to your mouth, nose or eyes.

It is always better to prepare for the worst case scenario and getting ready with personnel and equipment. Corona is probably staying around for a while and what countries are trying to do is controlling the spread in a way that does not exhaust resources and put additional pressure on utilities and medical centers. One point in to give credit for the medical staff who are the front line in defending us as humans at this point.

This disease has already taken hold in Europe, the United States and South East Asia and is beginning to cause disaster in Africa and South America. The World Health Organization is particularly concerned at the ability of the poorest countries in the world to control the disease.

How much Could it be get Big

As the COVID-19 continues to spread around the world day by day much faster, a flurry of early research is drawing a clearer picture of how it behaves and the factors that will determine how much it can be contained. There is no vaccine invented till the time, however several countries have already established travel bans, established Lock downs, Banned social gathering and practicing to motivate their public by awareness rising to mitigate the spread of this COVID-19 virus, preventing their Nations. There are plenty of basic precautions you can take to protect yourself against catching respiratory viruses of this type, as well as following government advice and staying at home. 

It seems to spread easily, making control efforts difficult. It is hard to know yet, but the death rate may be more than 2 percent higher than the seasonal flue. Although China has slowed new cases but the spread around the world is accelerating and enough to spread the outbreak all over the world. The scale of an outbreak depends on how quickly and easily a virus is transmitted from person to person, you are very unlikely to get infected outside of areas where it is spreading.

If all the prescribed and notified precautionary measures are not taken by the public, then it could be spread most rapidly and can make a huge Human lives Loss all over the world.
