THIS IS -  'Coronavirus'


2K20... What a year! Still more Eight more months to go. It's a hard time right! Our lives are in a hurry. We all wake up every day (not to be sure) and do our assigned work. But suddenly......
 We are just staying in our home don't know what the f**k is happening around us. 

The whole world is in PANDEMIC now. How and why this happened? From where? And lots and lots of questions are going in our heads. 


What does the word Corona mean? It's a Latin word meaning crown or wreath.

HISTORY

It is first discovered in 1930 when the acute respiratory infections of chickens. In the 1940s two more animal coronavirus was lonesome. Then human coronavirus was discovered in the 1960s and isolated from a boy a novel common cold virus B814 and then many similar viruses like  SARS-CoV in 2003, HCoV NL63 in 2004, HCoV HKU1 in 2005, MERS-CoV in 2012 are discovered. But now we have one of the dangerous ones SARS-CoV-2 in 2019. 




STRUCTURE 

SARS‑CoV‑2 genetically clusters with the genus Betacoronavirus and is 96 percent identical at the whole genome level to other bat coronavirus samples and 92 percent identical to pangolin coronavirus.




Coronaviruses contain a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. The genome organization for a coronavirus is 5′-leader-UTR-replicase/transcriptase-spike (S)-envelope (E)-membrane (M)-nucleocapsid (N)-3′UTR-poly (A) tail. and a complex biological process goes on and we are not looking into it deeply.
Its typical structure made it a tough one to encounter and researchers from all over the world are working hard to find the vaccine.

TRANSMISSION 

The virus is spread primarily by close contact and by small droplets produced during coughing, sneezing, and talking. Studies found that it can spread up to 6 meters.

As these droplets when present on the surface; the people get infected when they touch the surface and then their eyes, nose, or mouth. The virus survives for hours to days on surfaces. Coronavirus mainly targets the epithelial cells (a basic type of animal issue ) and infects via the aerosol route.


CASES AND DEATHS :

  Till now
             Confirmed cases - 31,57,459.
             Deaths -  2,19,611.
             Recovered - 9,57,094.
