This document discusses the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. It provides information on the origin and symptoms of COVID-19, describes the life cycle and global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, and shows country-level data on confirmed cases and deaths. It also outlines some of the major economic impacts the pandemic is having globally, such as disruptions to supply chains, declines in tourism and business travel, and volatility in financial markets.

Covid 19

2. ORIGIN
 COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered corona
virus. This new virus and disease were unknown before the outbreak began in
Wuhan, China, in December 2019. COVID-19 is now a pandemic affecting many
countries globally.
 Corona viruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or
humans. In humans, several corona viruses are known to cause respiratory
infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle
East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS). The most recently discovered corona virus causes corona virus disease
COVID-19.
 Corona viruses are a group of related RNA viruses that cause diseases
in mammals and birds. In humans, these viruses cause respiratory tract
infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of
the common cold (which is caused also by certain other viruses,
predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS,
and COVID-19. Symptoms in other species vary: in chickens, they cause an upper
respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are as
yet no vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human corona virus
infections.

3. SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
 The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness.
 Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, sore throat or diarrhea.
 These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become
infected but only have very mild symptoms.
 Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing hospital
treatment. Around 1 out of every 5 people who gets COVID-19 becomes
seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with
underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart and lung problems,
diabetes, or cancer , are at higher risk of developing serious illness.
 However anyone can catch COVID-19 and become seriously ill. Even people with very
mild symptoms of COVID-19 can transmit the virus.

4. STAGES OF LIFE CYCLE OF CORONA VIRUS
Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the
enveloped positive-sense RNA viruses. This virus is characterized by club-like
spikes on the surface, and a unique replication strategy. In the following the
replication cycle of SARS-Cov-2 is explained together with possible inhibitors
and their respective targets. This compilation is based on current literature
however we make no claim to accuracy.

7. GLOBAL SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS

8. Impacts Of Corona Virus Attack On
World Economy
 The corona virus (COVID-19) outbreak has already brought considerable human suffering and major
economic disruption. In China, containment efforts have involved quarantines and widespread restrictions
on l about mobility and travel, resulting in unplanned delays in restarting factories after the Lunar New
Year holiday and sharp cutbacks in many service sector activities. These measures imply a sizeable output
contraction whilst the effects of the outbreak persist. Subsequent outbreaks in other countries, including
Korea and Italy, have also prompted containment measures such as quarantines and border closures, albeit
on a smaller scale. The adverse consequences of these developments for other countries are significant,
including the direct disruption to global supply chains, weaker final demand for imported goods and
services, and the wider regional declines in international tourism and business travel. Risk aversion has
increased in financial markets, with the US 10-year interest rate falling to a record low and equity prices
declining sharply, commodity prices have dropped, and business and consumer confidence have turned
down.
