Corona Virus and COVID-19 : risks, causes and how can we safeguard ourselves

Today we are facing the most difficult times of the 21st century. COVID-19, the name which has overtaken the every possible news all around the globe.


Again, humanity is going through one of the most disastrous situation and this time in the form of deadly corona virus.



Corona virus and covid-19



Even the most developed nations are not able to fight the virus. There are dead bodies all around. Many of them are not able to find places for the burial of the dead bodies of the deceased.


Community spread has been seen in many parts of the world. Be it Italy, France, UK, Spain or even US, the most developed nations are not able to find a way to contain the virus spread.


Virus had its origin in Wuhan, the city China has already taken over most part of the world and spread is still going on.


In India, spread is going on and it is increasing day by day. Lockdown has been declared in most part of the world and people are advised not to step out of their houses. Many people are taking it lightly and are not following rules and regulations. Government has to take stricter actions against these people to contain the spread of COVID-19.


The problem is after getting infected with COVID-19, people do not find any unusual symptoms, they are somewhat similar to regular flu symptoms. Also, its incubation period is 2-14 days and in many cases it may be more than 14 days. So ,it is very difficult to find whether the person has regular flu or COVID-19.


If it is at its initial stage, then it is cured easily otherwise it is very difficult to contain this virus. For now, protection is the only way people have and for this all people have to stay inside. According to scientists, development of vaccine might take 12-18 months to reach to its final stage, so till then we have to be very careful against this virus spread.
