Coronavirus Infection

Due to the detailed investigation carried out by me, I have discover and understand
the various health issues occurring right now in our planet. The most important one of
recent days, is called (COVID-19), but most know by all the population as coronavirus.
This virus was detected firstly in China but it has been spread to a large number of
countries all around the globe, affecting not only people but even the economy and
production of each of them. Diverse problems have surged, people are frightened and
waiting for what may happen after the crisis, their fear is leading them to buy in excess
while generating panic and emptying supermarkets, causing despair for those families
who also need these items for their daily life’s.
Several countries have decided to take drastic measures, classes have been canceled
and now everything will be handled virtually from home, the different governments
around the world have called for collective isolation and have canceled all massive
events. The main reason for these measures taken is that this type of virus has a really
high contagion rate, just by being around an infected person or being in contact with
an infected surface, immediately the virus is shared. Scientists have confirmed that the
various reported cases globally belong to the coronavirus family, infected from animals
to humans, and that its symptoms were very similar to those of a flu.
In the past years, various cases of coronavirus have already occurred, but with a slight
case fatality rate. The first, started on 2002 in China, it spread to more than 37
countries, infecting 8,098 people and causing nearly 700 deaths. The second, started
on 2012 in Saudi Arabia, this epidemic had a higher rate, with more than 800 deaths
and 2,400 cases. The latest is called COVID-19 and three months after the first
detected case, the OMS declared the virus a pandemic.
