(Aditya Shaw, Intern Journalist): The global epidemic coronavirus continues to wreak havoc. The first case of this virus has been completed even after one year. Till now, millions of people have been infected with Corona and millions have died. The outbreak of coronavirus is increasing rather than decreasing. This has led to the closure of countless companies worldwide. Many industries are on the verge of destruction and millions of people have come on the road. The world is witnessing a recession.
However, let us tell you that the first case of infection from this coronavirus causing havoc all over the world was found today in the Chinese city of Wuhan. After this, this virus caught the whole world’s insight. By the end of one year, the coronavirus has killed more than 13.35 lakh people worldwide, while more than 5.55 crore people have been killed.
Now you can guess how dangerous this virus is. Thousands of scientists are trying to find a cure to deal with the coronavirus around the world, but no country has yet been successful in making a corona vaccine, even a year after the first case came out.
China officially confirmed in December
The first case of coronavirus was reported on November 17, 2019, in Wuhan city of Hubei province, China. A 55-year-old man was infected with it. China did not reveal his identity. Chinese officials officially confirmed the first case of corona infection on December 8, 2019, and said the infection spread from Wuhan’s Huanan seafood market. While the US accused it of creating a virus in its lab in China and hiding its information. Even after a year, the real reason for its outbreak has not been known. However, later it has caught the whole world by spreading through contact with the infected person.
None of them ‘patient zero’
In November, four men and five women were reported infected. Although none of them were ‘Patient Zero’. ‘Patient zero’ ie whether any of them were carriers of infection or not was clear. The South China Morning Post had said on the basis of Chinese government data that the first case of corona occurred in China on 17 November, but China continued to dismiss it and said that the first case came to light in Wuhan on 8 December 2019.
Researchers are still trying to find out the cause
Researchers are still trying to find out how the coronavirus originated? Since when has contact with an infected person started spreading? How can we see this change in the future? But they too could not get much information about this.
The US accused of hiding information
Many countries, including the US, accused China of hiding information about the coronavirus and said that if the truth had been revealed to the world in time, the catastrophe could have been avoided. Many US agencies have claimed that the coronavirus is a virus prepared in Wuhan’s lab. However, it has not been confirmed yet. Let us tell that 55,350,663 people have been infected with Corona all over the world so far, while 1,332,338 people have died from this infection. The US is most affected by Corona.
