The Origin Of COVID-19

Origin of COVID-19 epidemic

 A respiratory infection, caused by a β-coronavirus genera (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19) spread throughout the Wuhan territory of China and received worldwide attention by January 2020. The World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 as a worldwide public health emergency by 30th January 2020.


As COVID-19 shares its identity of genome sequence with a bat CoV RaTG-13 by almost 96.2%.Health experts concluded that the main reservoir of COVID-19 is bats.
First reservoir for COVID-19 virus

Though COVID-19 spread through a seafood market in Wuhan province of China, epidemiologists are having a hard time to deduce as to how COVID-19 found its way to the market. Health professionals are hypothesizing that there was an intermediate host between Bats and Humans. Though the identity of that intermediate host remains a mystery.

As the situation proceeds, everything is getting more mysterious as more problems spring up in front of doctors and health experts. In this situation the best an individual can do is to stay sanitized and stay at home to avoid getting an infection because of COVID-19.

COVID-19 marks the 3rd coming of a severe respiratory tract viral infection under the Coronaviridae genus after the epidemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or SARS in 2002 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome or MERS in 2012. This virus is highly pathogenic and contagious as compared to the other two.

As of 25th March, 2020 more than 4 lakhs/0.4 million cases were recorded worldwide and about 4 percent of these cases have been declared dead with the death toll going uphill.

Overall, COVID-19 is very contagious. Severe if the infected person has a weak immune system.

This is the wrath of nature directed towards the Human Civilization.

Is RT-dPCR technology reliable for detecting COVID-19 infection?

ABOUT RT-PCR technology In this post, we will discuss whether RT-PCR technology is reliable for testing a suspect with COVID-19 or not through properly analyzing the available facts. What is RT-PCR technology? Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction is a lab technique used by Bio-chemists to generate billions of copies of a complementary DNA generated through reverse transcription of RNA of a virus. You might be wondering how does this method help in detecting a particular disease within an individual. Well, for that you need to understand what viruses are and what is their function. Function of a Virus A virus is a microscopic package of genetic information surrounded by a lipid bilayer. Genetic information is in the form of RNA along with reverse transcriptase(an enzyme which converts RNA into a complementary DNA or false DNA), Integrase(an enzyme which binds complementary DNA to the nucleus of the living cell) and protease(the enzyme which cuts up the protei
