Gone are the days where serious journalism abounds. The days where what is called "investigative journalism" abounds. This days, with the birth of internet and with the help of social media, every dick and harry have become an entry journalist aka bloggers and news this days spreads faster than California wildfire.

Now I ask again, what have you been told about coronovirus? In this article, I will try as much as possible to mitigate the pain caused by not only coronavirus itself but the news about coronavirus. So sit back and get yourself a coffee.

What Is Coronavirus?

According to world health organization (WHO), COVID-19 or coronovirus are a large family of viruses that causes illness from the common cold to more diseases like: Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Just mentioning SARS give some people chills you know.

It is however safe to say - any of those initially infected by coronovirus either worked or frequently shopped in the Huanan seafood wholesale market in the centre of the Chinese city of Wuhan. Current but disheartening statistics show that without strong containment measures the average person who catches Covid-19 will pass it on to at least two other people.

Coronavirus also have a higher mortality rate than common illnesses such as seasonal flu. The combination of coronavirus’s ability to spread and cause serious illness has prompted many countries, including the UK, to introduce or plan extensive public health measures aimed at containing and limiting the impact of the epidemic.

How Does Coronavirus Infect People (Transmit)?

Coronovirus are transmitted between animals and humans. This means that the coronavirus disease are zoonotic. Further investigation and analysis fould that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to human and MERS-CoV from dromedary camel to humans. According to reports, several coronavirus kinds and types are still existing in some animals and are believed to have not affected any human yet.

Does Coronavirus Have A Cure?

To be candid, the answer is a resounding NO. But there are some drugs that are known to work against some viruses of this nature, they are being trialed in China, where there are thousands of patients, and new trials have already starting in the US and other countries. Large numbers are needed to find out whether they work in a few people or a lot of people or nobody at all.

According to The Guardian, the most hopeful are Kaletra, which is a combination of two anti-HIV drugs, and remdesivir, which was tried but failed in Ebola patients in west Africa in 2013 and 2016. Some Chinese doctors are also trying chloroquine, an antimalarial drug, which is off-patent, therefore cheap and highly available, and would be very useful in low-income countries. The first results are expected in mid-March and should indicate if the drugs will at least help those who are most severely ill.
