Corona Virus - The pandemic situation
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two. Since its emergence in Asia late last year, the virus has spread to every continent except Antarctica.
We have now reached the tragic milestone of one million deaths, and the human family is suffering under an almost intolerable burden of loss.
To avoid unacceptable loss we should stay at home. And should take all precautionary majors.

Explanation:
The outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) first emerged at the end of December 2019, from the Hunan seafood market in Wuhan City of China, and declared as an international public health emergency in a couple of weeks by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2020a). It is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Islam et al., 2020; Nghiem et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020). Genomic analysis revealed that SARS-CoV-2 is phylogenetically associated with SARS viruses, and bats could be the possible primary source (Chakraborty and Maity, 2020). Although the intermediate source of origin and transfer to humans is not clearly known, the rapid human to human transmission capability of this virus has been established (Hui et al., 2020). The transmission of the virus mainly occurred through person-to-person via direct contact or droplets produced by coughing, sneezing and talking (Islam et al., 2020; Li et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2020). As of September 06, 2020; the virus has claimed to spread 216 countries, areas or territories with the death of 876, 616 humans from 26,763,217 confirmed cases (WHO, 2020a), and the number is increasing rapidly. The geographic distribution of COVID-19 cases (Figure 1), and the epidemic curve indicating the number of confirmed cases and deaths in different parts of the world are illustrated in Figure 2.
