December 3, 2019 through May 31, 2020
The world is in lock down at this time which will be
mentioned and remembered in the history of mankind. Here in the U.S. and
everywhere else in the world people are warned not to leave their house and not
to go anywhere in-order to prevent their exposure to Coronavirus or CV pandemic.
At this time a viral communicable disease has affected more than 600,000 people
and has resulted in death of more than 1000 persons in the world. On the
other hand, the health system does not have the required facilities and all
that is needed to provide care for everyone. The situation in rural areas is
even worse as all the rural hospitals are closed. A few weeks back the U.S. the
Intel. Committee warned about the above-mentioned virus but the matter was
denied and considered a hoax. Nowadays a term used in most conversations is the
term "Social Distancing" which is hoped to encourage people to not
get together in order to break the transmission chain. There is no known
treatment for the condition yet but the medical experts are working on that.
We are learning that the Coronavirus disease appears in waves and in repeated cycles. The top official here wants the easing of restrictions before understanding the difficulties of shortage of tests, beds, ventilators and the fact that to contain the disease, they need testing and different strategies for different parts of the country.
The
first known case started back in November 17,2019 in China. The virus
