Answer:
The SARS-CoV-2 virus originated in Wuhan city in the Hubei province of China. The Chinese authorities first officially reported its presence to the World Health Organization (WHO) on 31 December 2019, however, it almost certainly started spreading there much before that, possibly sometime early December 2019. Since then, it has spread to almost every country on earth taking lives, shutting down economies, and creating worldwide havoc and panic of the proportions perhaps not seen since World War II, with no signs yet of slowing down. Experts opine that, even if the virus-spread subsides in summer, it is almost certain that the virus will re-surface in the winter, perhaps becoming even more virulent than it already is. Although three have been reports of multiple breakthroughs with regards to COVID-19 vaccine development, with encouraging news coming from Oxford University (UK), Israel, USA and Italy, even the most optimistic estimates suggest that a working vaccine might get available to general public only by late 2020/early 2021 (which would be nothing short of a medical marvel given the timelines involved in vaccine development). Expectedly, people the world over are a worried lot.
Explanation:
Covid-19 has created not just a health emergency but a financial crisis. It could not have come at a worse time for India, already in the middle of a slowdown.It has been a crippling week, the kind I haven't seen all my life, says AD Singh, founder of the Olive Group. Till Holi, his restaurants - 30 of them were doing brisk business. “I was in South Mumbai, hosting guests, the weekend before Holi. And the restaurant was full,” he recalls. There were some cancellations from overseas tour groups, but Indian patrons more than made up for it. Within a week, Singh’s bustling restaurants have turned into haunted outlets. Because of Covid-19 scare and government curbs, malls are closed, streets deserted and Singh is closing his restaurants one by one.Government-imposed lockdowns to check the virus-spread and/or people voluntarily staying at homes have completely pummelled major job providing industries including hospitality, transport........i hope this pandemic finishes off soon
