1,What is Coronavirus? It is a virus that spread between people via respiratory droplet produced during coughing and spread from touching contaminated surfaces and then touching ones face.
2,The Journey: Coronavirus (COVID-19)began in the Chinese industrial city of Wuhan in December 2019.
Since then, Three months down the line, the world has never remained the same again.
3,The Cause: The popular theory is that COVID-19 began from a live animal market in Wuham, China where anything from bats to cats, snakes, pangols, monkeys, cockroaches, worms, dogs are sold for food.
4,The Conspiracy theory: There is major theory that states that the virus emanated from a bacteriological laboratory that is stationed in Wuham and that it was an attempt to smuggle the virus to a foreign power which somehow spilled by accident
5,The Symptoms: Coronavirus are said to be zoonotic in origin i.e they tend to be transmitted from animals to humans, with an incubation period of 2- 14days depending on the blood group of the incubator, symptoms include respiratory problems, fever, cough and breathing difficulties.
In severe cases it can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and eventual death.
6,The Effect in China: Since the outbreak in December it has brought the Chinese industrial powerhouse to a standstill, thousands of schools have been closed down, public transport system have been halted and businesses have closed shop, 780million Chinese have been placed on travel restriction,it may lead to a 2-4% fall in China's economy this year, china has recorded over 81,008 cases with over 3,255 deaths(March 21st update) so far.
Since China is a major raw material supplier and offshore factory nation to many nations and businesses, the global business supply chain will be hampered.
7,Global Effect: The contagion has spread to 186 countries including U.S, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa among the worst affected are Spain, Italy, Germany, Iran, France and Italy, a total of 277,275 cases were identified globally of which 11,431 deaths were registered. While 91,000 are said to have recovered. China has taken the heaviest toll with 81,008 cases out of which 3,255 deaths were recorded, while 71,740 were said to have recovered.
The U.S has recorded over 19,774 cases with 275 deaths. Over $6 trillion has been wiped off the stock market and crypto currency market across the globe. Many countries like Italy, U.S, Tunisia, Jordan, China, France are on shut down due to this global catastrophe, over 50 nations have shut their borders and another 80 nations have restricted influx of people from some certain nations.
Saudi Arabia may suspend Hajj for this year and the Olympics scheduled to hold in Japan in the summer may be postponed and many public and sports events(Premier league, Laliga, Euro 2020)in many countries have been suspended.
8,Velocity: According to WHO it took only 48days for COVID-19 to infect the first 1000 victims as contrasted with MERS which took 93days and SARS which took 130 days. On wednessday 11th March World health organisation (WHO) declared Coronavirus a global pandemic.
9,Fatality rate: According to World health organisation (WHO) the fatality rate has been around 2percent of all recorded cases as contrasted with Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) which killed 10 percent of all infected persons in 2003 and Middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS) whose fatality rate in 2012 was 35%.
10,Any Cure: Medical sciences is yet to find a real cure for the Coronavirus, the best advise centres on prevention through regular washing of hands, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thorough cooking of meet and eggs and avoiding close contact with anyone showing symptoms.
The virus does not survive beyond a certain degree of heat.( 60 degree & above),People with robust immune system have better chances of survival, exercise and frequent drinking of water will also help to wash the virus away.We believe that within the next 3months a vaccine or a drug that can battle the virus may be found.a lot of clinical trial is being conducted on the efficacy of chloroquine.
And more than 20 Countries are working on vaccines. For now it is prayers and precaution, but people have recovered from the virus attack, we don’t know the drugs they took. WHO is set to release $50b to assist affected countries.
11,Top 5 cities with highest casualties: (As at 21st March 2020)
China: 81,008 cases & 3255 deaths
Italy: 47,021 cases & 4032 deaths
Spain: 21,571 cases & 1093 deaths

USA: 19,774 cases & 275 deaths
Iran: 19,644 cases & 1433 deaths
France: 12,612 cases & 450 deaths
12,Was this strange event foretold? In 1981, in the book Eye of darkness written by American Deon Knoontz, he mentioned such.
And in the book End of days written by American Sylvia Brown released in 2008, the psychic mentioned it.

c,Self -isolation: means staying indoors and avoiding contact with other people until one is certain, one is free of a certain disease.
d, Quarantine: Is a restriction initiated by a health organisation on the movement of people and goods which is intended to prevent the spread of disease or pests.

14,What does COVID-19 (the code name for Coronavirus) mean; CO is short for Corona, VI is short for Virus , D is short for disease and 19 short for 2019 the year the virus broke out.
15, The big question:
a, Since they said Coronavirus emanated from animals in china,has the Chinese government banned the consumption of such animals or subject the animals to vigorous test before consumption.
b, Since we say people have recovered, what drugs did they use?
16,The Lesson; The world is one global village, if an ill(poverty, terrorism or health challenge) is affecting one country we should all work together, heart and soul to correct it and not rejoicing about the fall, it could befall any one.
Racism should be abolished.
