Corona viruses is a group of related RNA Viruses that cause diseases in Mammals and Birds. In humans and birds, they cause Respiratory tract infection that can range from mild to deadly. Mild illnesses in humans include some cases of the Common Cold . The COVID‑19 pandemic, also known as the corona virus pandemic is an ongoing global pandemic of Corona Virus Disease 2019 which is called as COVID‑19. This virus first come to the knowledge in the year 2019 for which the scientist named as COVID-19.
The central Chinese city of Wuhan
is the birth place of COVID-19 and some country called it as Chinese virus . In
first week of August, 2019, the corona virus transmitted human to human.
The corona virus is transmitted from
one person to the next via small droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, and
talking. Face masks aim to prevent the spread of the virus from one person to
the next. You don’t only wear the mask for your own protection. Mask wearing is
altruistic too. The research clearly suggests that masks help to reach both of
the main goals: They reduce the risk for the wearer to get infected – and they
also reduce the risk of the wearer infecting others. A systematic review and
meta-analysis by Chu et al. , published in The Lancet, found that the use of
face masks would result in a large reduction of the risk of infection.
Washing your hands is your
superpower in the fight against the pandemic. Since soap is so very common and
cheap, it is easy to fail to appreciate how powerful it is. But the virus most
likely enters your body via your hands and the research is clear that washing
your hands with simple soap and water is the best thing you can do to protect
yourself from infection. We have previously written about how the importance of
hand-washing was discovered in the 19th century and how it contributed to the
large decline of maternal mortality since. Soap feels nice to our skin, but to
viruses it is extremely destructive. Corona
viruses, like many other viruses, are wrapped into an envelope protein. Soap
can break this outer layer of the corona virus apart. Additionally,
hand-washing with soap makes our hands slippery and the mechanical motion of
washing rips the viruses away from your skin and down the drain. But many of us
don’t know how to use this superpower. If you don’t know how to wash your
hands, let this nurse teach you. Wash your hands like you just cut some
chillies and now have to put contact lenses in. In addition to serious
hand-washing you can also take care to not get the virus on your hands in the
first place – no hand-shakes and ensure that you don’t get it from your hand
into your body, which means do not touch your face (mouth, nose, eye and ear). Not
touching your face is harder than it might first appear. We touch our face much
more often than we realize. When soap and water are not available it is
recommended that you use hand sanitizer to be effective the sanitizer needs to
be more than 60% ethanol.
There is a second reason why it is important to flatten the
curve: Slowing down the pandemic means that scientists have time to develop
tools to fight the virus. Scientists around the world are working on solutions
to fight this pandemic – better tests, medication and in the best scenario, a
vaccine – but this takes time. By slowing the pandemic, we give scientists more
time to develop the technology we all need. What are the means to reach this
goal and win time and provide healthcare for all that need it?
In recent decades humanity has been
extraordinarily successful in the fight against viruses and bacteria – we found
vaccines against diseases that once killed millions every year, we reduced child
mortality around the world and in every region of the world we now live twice
as long as our ancestors just a few generations ago. In this pandemic too, we
can hope but not expect that science comes to the rescue.
Consider, for example, washing your
hands with soap. This has been one of the greatest advances ever in human
hygiene. This simple action saves millions of lives every year. While we take
it for granted, it was only in the 19th century that scientists discovered the
importance of washing hands with soap. Previously, even doctors and nurses proceeded
from one surgical operation to the next without washing their hands. Today
billions of people daily wash their hands, not because they are afraid of the
soap police, but rather because they understand the facts. I wash my hands with
soap because I have heard of viruses and bacteria, I understand that these tiny
organisms cause diseases, and I know that soap can remove them.
Human kind is now facing a global
crisis. Perhaps the biggest crisis of our generation. The decisions people and
governments take in the next few weeks will probably shape the world for years
to come. They will shape not just our healthcare systems but also our economy,
politics and culture. We must act quickly and decisively. We should also
take into account the long-term consequences of our actions. When choosing
between alternatives, we should ask ourselves not only how to overcome the
immediate threat, but also what kind of world we will inhabit once the storm
passes. Yes, the storm will pass, human kind will survive, most of us will
still be alive but we will inhabit a different world.
Humanity has eradicated infectious
diseases before, a disease that infected
primarily cattle, was eradicated in 2011, and smallpox was declared eradicated
in 1980. The eradication of smallpox is surely one of humanity’s greatest
success stories – once extremely terrible disease, it was eradicated thanks to
global vaccination campaigns. These efforts have likely saved more than 100
million lives since. In our entry on smallpox you find the data and research on
smallpox – and the history of how it was eradicated.
We built 213 country profiles which
allow you to explore the statistics on the corona virus pandemic for every
country in the world. In a fast-evolving pandemic it is not a simple matter to
identify the countries that are most successful in making progress against it.
Excess mortality and the rate of the confirmed deaths is what we focus on in
the sections below, but for a fuller assessment a wider perspective is useful.
For this purpose we track the impact of the pandemic across our publication and
we built country profiles for 213 countries to study the statistics on the
corona virus pandemic for every country in the world in depth. Each profile
includes interactive visualizations, explanations of the presented metrics, and
the details on the sources of the data. Every country profile is updated daily.
AMERICA
The
corona virus COVID-19 is affected 213 countries and
territories around the world. American life has been fundamentally reordered
because of the virus. Concerts, parades and baseball games have been called
off. Unemployment claims have spiked. Many schools and colleges will hold few
or no in-person classes this fall. In New York and California, the states with
the most known cases, more than 1 million people have had the corona virus. In
some less populous states, including Vermont and Hawaii, there are fewer than
5,000 patients. And in a handful of remote counties, there has been not even
one positive test.
USA
is the 1st highest number of COVIT-19 cases. Many (nearly 1.5 crore) citizen
of USA have lost their job for which make impact over the open market of their
locality. Shopping center, corporate sector, small business center and local
Government employee directly affected during the COVID-19 period all over USA.
Many
student has lost their life and many are admitted in hospital for COVIT-19
treatment. At a time sum lakhs of student affected in 2/3 days for which the
entire education system collapsed. No one is ready to come out from home.
There
are 53,27,918 total cases of COVID-19 positive, 1,68,390 are death cases out of
total number and 27,78,502 cases are recovered till 12th
Augest,2020. AMERICA
economy
shrinks at a 32.9% annual rate between April and June, as the country struggle
with lockdowns and spending cutbacks during the pandemic. According to economic
time, “US healthcare system,
considered to be the best in the world, is under deep stress due to the corona
virus outbreak with medical professionals expecting thousands of patients in
need of urgent care in the coming days, even as soccer stadiums, convention
centers and horse racetracks are being converted into makeshift hospitals.”
Till yet 5% cases out of worldwide cases are from New York City.
RUSSIA
Russia is the 3rd highest number of COVIT-19 cases. Till today (12th August, 2020), there are 9,03,000 cases are confirmed and 7,10,000 cases are recovered and 15,2660 cases are death case. Still in Russia, the death rate is low in compare to other nation. Russia is the 1st nation, who is invented the medicine for Corona Virus and it is already implemented.
The economic rate in Russia is
reduced to 6 % which is breaking the record of the eleven years.
This year, the report takes a closer look that how the COVID-19 pandemic
(entire Russia has lockdown) is affecting learning and education across Russia.
Surveillance technology is developing at
breakneck speed, and what seemed science-fiction 10 years ago is today old
news. As a thought experiment, consider a hypothetical government that demands
that every citizen wears a biometric bracelet that monitors body temperature
and heart-rate 24 hours a day. The resulting data is hoarded and analyzed by
government algorithms. The algorithms will know that you are sick even before
you know it, and they will also know where you have been, and who you have met.
The chains of infection could be drastically shortened, and even cut
altogether.
Humanity needs to make a choice.
Will we travel down the route of disunity, or will we adopt the path of global
solidarity? If we choose disunity, this will not only prolong the crisis,
but will probably result in even worse catastrophes in the future. If we choose
global solidarity, it will be a victory not only against the coronavirus, but
against all future epidemics and crises that might assail humankind in the
21st century.
Another requirement is reaching a
global agreement on travel. Suspending all international travel for months
will cause tremendous hardships, and hamper the war against corona virus.
Countries need to co-operate in order to allow at least a trickle of essential travelers
to continue crossing borders.
