Chains and Covid-19. This can include theoretical articles, critical
reviews of studies that have been conducted, and outlines of

Fast Food Chains

Foreign

Fast food is very essential for American. In their daily lives, they
cannot adapt the life that without fast food restaurant. Because
American have a high efficiency life, so fast foods have developed
rapidly, even have become a special local American culture. At the same
time, American fast food is most famous in the world.
Local

Fast food” generally refers to the type of restaurants that sell

quick, inexpensive take-out food. During a relatively brief period of time,
the fast food industry has helped to transform not only diet, but also
landscape, economy, workforce, and popular culture. The extraordinary
growth of the fast food industry has been obsessed by fundamental
changes in society. The whole experience of buying fast food has
become so habitual, that it is now taken for granted, like brushing your
teeth or stopping for a red light. However, what makes them Filipino is
the history and society that introduced and adapted them. The people
who turned them to their tastes and accepted them into their homes and
restaurants, and specially the harmonizing culture that combined them
into modern Filipinos fare.

Covid-19

Foreign

(Muhammad Adnan Shereen, Suliman Khan, Abeer Kazmi,

Nadia Bashir & Rabeea Siddique , 2020) The article is published in the
journal Science Direct that gives a detailed description on the Covid-19.
It says that coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is a highly transmittable
and pathogenic viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which emerged in Wuhan,
China and spread around the world. Genomic analysis revealed that
SARS-CoV-2 is phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory
syndrome-like (SARS-like) bat viruses, therefore bats could be the
possible primary reservoir. The intermediate source of origin and transfer
to humans is not known, however, the rapid human to human transfer
has been confirmed widely. There is no clinically approved antiviral drug
or vaccine available to be used against COVID-19. However, few broad-
spectrum antiviral drugs have been evaluated against COVID-19 in
clinical trials, resulted in clinical recovery. In the current review, we
summarize and comparatively analyze the emergence.

RELATED STUDIES

The succeeding discussions which revolve around the related

studies provide theoretical anchorage to the present study. Foreign
studies are presented first followed by the local studies which provide
insights in support of this research.
