This virus is generally found in animals and the place where various type of animal are kept together, this gave the virus a chance to transfer from animals to human and this is what happened in the first week of December. Can you guess from which animal specially coronavirus is originated?

According to the experts, this virus originates from 'Bats' and infected a single human first of all then to others and like this forms a chain. And after one month of harsh situation, the Seafood market was shut down.

When scientists research the genetic code of the virus it is found that it is similar to bats which means that it originates from bats.

But when ‘Journal of Medical Virology’ did another research they found that it resembles snake cobra.

Some people also speculate that it originates from multiple animals.

When peoples are getting symptoms, they are sent to a Chinese doctor named DR. LI, and after the inspection, he knows that this is a new virus to human and human don't know anything about this virus and warned his all doctor friend to be serious about this virus as it can be spread. When this news is spread, Dr. Li was arrested as the government thought that he was spreading rumours and developing fear among citizens.

The virus spread to other countries also and the number of infected people increased. On March 11 2020 WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION announced it as a global pandemic. 

Some of the symptoms of Covid-19 are Fever, dry cough, fatigue. 

In our body generally, we have two types of infectious diseases that are a bacterial infection and viral infection.

Coronavirus is a viral infection.

The fact is that scientist have a cure for bacterial infection like strep throat, ear infection, etc but in case of viral infection, you will be amazed that scientist has not found any perfect cure even for the common cold as it is a viral infection and has no cure. Some of the viral infection are common cold, influenza, chickenpox, Aids. It has no cure but we have treatment for these diseases. 

Cure means to kill the antigen and treatment means to get the antigen out from our body.

Coronavirus is different from other viral disease as it spread quickly as compared to other.

The only solution is to take prevention like wearing a mask, maintain social distance and stay away from the crowd.
