New Delhi
More than half of 2020 has passed and the recent Coronavirus epidemic has surpassed Rs 1.10 crore worldwide. Corona exposure does not appear to be decreasing. More than 50 percent of patients worldwide (over 60 million) have recovered from the deadly epidemic, while more than 5 million have died. With more than 7 patients, India ranks third after the United States and Brazil.
No cure or vaccine has been found for the coronavirus, which first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan last year. Many mysteries related to the Corona virus have surfaced since the beginning.
The scientific journal Nature claims to find the answers to five mysteries associated with the Coronavirus.
To date, science has been able to see how “viruses enter and spread into cells, how some people fight them, and eventually kill others”.
Medicines that benefit the patient have been identified, and several possible treatments are in the works.
Scientists have developed nearly 200 potential vaccines – some of which are said to be effective by the end of this year.
However, the journal highlights some important questions that researchers remain unanswered about the disease: –
1. What causes each person to experience the different symptoms?
It is a well-known fact that children and the elderly, especially those with chronic diseases, are susceptible to viral infections and suffer the severity of the disease, however, it is still important to understand the reasons for the emergence of the virus. different symptoms for each. Person.
2. What is the nature of immunity and how long does it last?
Immunologists are also trying to determine the extent of immunity to the Corona virus and how long it lasts.
“Studies have shown that antibody levels to SARS-CoV-2 are high for several weeks after infection, but they usually start to fall. Scientists are still trying to solve the mystery of the Corona virus which lasts for six months.
3. Does the virus raise a mutation concern?
Since the Coronavirus, which first emerged in China last year, has spread across the continent, there has been much speculation about the virus’s mutation.
4. How well does the vaccine work?
A team of experts and scientists believe that the Corona vaccine is not for the public because most people recover on their own from infection. This vaccine can only be used by parents and children in the community such as infants and comorbidities. But how effective it is against the virus remains to be evaluated.
5. Where did the virus come from?
That’s the million dollar question. From bats to ants, much speculation has emerged surrounding the theory of the origin of the virus which originated in China.
He added that “a detailed analysis of more than 1,200 coronaviruses taken from bats in China shows the origin of the new coronavirus in bats in Yunnan.”
