Please be as detailed as possible! Please do not just write anything that doesn't Make sense
IMPORTANT: If you are going to write please make sure your writing is neat, legible, and easy to read. Please write in print (not cursive). Thank you
This is my point of view and knowledge about the covid-19 so please read it and use if you like it. I don't know what exactly you need. But I'm trying to give you maximum help in this. Please give a thumbs up or comment if this is useful for you then I can understand my answer is useful to someone. And I'm really sorry if this is not helped you. Thank you.
Covid 19 - prevalence of the problem
COVID-19
Also known as Coronavirus disease. COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. It is a viral disease which spread through droplets. It is a pandemic in this era.
CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 novel coronavirus' or '2019-nCoV.'
Prevalence of the problem :
As of November 10, 2020, confirmed COVID-19 infections number over 50 million individuals worldwide and has resulted in over 1.2 million deaths. More than 220 countries have reported laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 on all continents except Antarctica. The disease is originated at woohan, china and spread all over the world in a short period.
The bats are the identified key reservoir. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) quickly spread over China across the globe, turned into a pandemic with exponentially increasing numbers of cases and significant mortality rate. China reacted with lockdowns and strict control measurements to prevent spreading the virus. The treatment of severe cases was hampered by lack of specific vaccines. Vaccine-development and production is a painstaking process and can only be enforced by international cooperation. Different supportive treatment options surfaced due to combinations of antiviral agents with antibiotic drugs. Elderly, male, immune-suppressed patients with co-morbidities showed a high mortality rate. Health literacy, strong immune system, adequate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and healthy life style choices can support fast recovery. Antibiotic resistance needs to be addressed by development of new generation antimicrobials against nosocomial infections in preparation for future outbreaks. Plant-biosynthesis of nanomaterials and antiseptics may help in prevention and recovery rate. Prevalence of COVID-19 maybe inversely related to BCG vaccination, endemicity of malaria, humidy and temperature but directly with latitude. Recommendations to prevent the spread of COVID-19 should be followed strictly.
The COVID-19 global outbreak caused panic, insecurity and depression due to the fast rate of infection, asymptomatic cases with high transmission potential, non-specific symptoms and the implemented control mechanisms on the public. Social distancing, isolation, insecurity of food and survival, diminishing of personal interactions, public closure, aggravated and increasing clusters of virus outbreaks leading to the collapse of the health care system, loss of jobs with sudden unemployment, financial crisis resulted in confusion, which may have an impact on health and quality of life. Panic, mental health problems and depression emerged like previously reported in MERS-CoV [37]. Health literacy in the population is a tool to measure the reaction of the public and the related health outcomes in the management of the crisis [37]. Lack of preparedness to the sudden onset of COVID-19 by governments, health care systems and organizations, as well as deficiency in diagnostic mechanisms, treatment options and management protocols further increased public insecurity globally. Human race is facing a disease without having tools to combat. According to Nguyen et al., health literacy in educated individuals is inversely related to their depression status. Increasing health literacy in the population can improve the management and control of COVID-19 and even further global pandemics.
India, Pakistan, UAE, Gulf countries, Middle East and Africa seem not being hardly hit by the COVID-19 outbreak. This needs to be answered in an immunological context. India and UAE fastly reacted to the pandemic with strict and harsh preventive measurements which seem to be successful so far. Still questions arise, why the area is not as hard hit like other countries. Temperature, humidity and latitude may have prevented the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 in India, Pakistan, UAE, other Gulf countries, the Middle East and Africa.Population-based surveys on the prevalence of COVID-19 help establish the epidemiology of infection and the role of people with asymptomatic and mild infections in disease transmission. These surveys also allow more accurate decision-making regarding reopening policies when approved pharmacological interventions are not available.
