COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), previously known as the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), a strain of coronavirus. The first cases were seen in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019 before spreading globally 1,2,10. The current outbreak was officially recognized as a pandemic on 11 March 2020 44.
Current imaging best practice advises that CT chest is not used to diagnose COVID-19, but maybe helpful in assessing for complications 115. The non-specific imaging findings are most commonly of atypical or organizing pneumonia, often with a bilateral, peripheral, and basal predominant distribution 32. No effective treatment or vaccine exists currently (April 2020) 20.
Answer:
A new kind of coronavirus discovered late last year in central China has now spread with ruthless speed to every continent on earth except Antarctica. It has killed tens of thousands, disrupted daily life in ways that would have seemed unthinkable at the start of the new year, and now poses a dire threat to the health of the world economy. The World Health Organisation says the coronavirus pandemic is the "defining global health crisis of our time", capable of revealing the best and worst in humanity. On April 22, the WHO's director-general said the virus "will be with us for a long time", pointing to the early stages of outbreaks in some countries, and an uptick of cases in others.
