Abstract

Coronaviruses infect many species of animals, together with humans, and have described for more than 50 years. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a strain of coronavirus in humans known for causing super-spreader events. Since late 2019 an outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, has rapidly spread across the world, devastating lives, and livelihoods. Coronaviruses are a massive family of viruses reported first in Wuhan, China, on December 31st, 2019. This new virus presents dangers: There is no known pre-immunity, no vaccine, and no specific treatment, and the infection is contagious, and everyone is presumed to be susceptible. This new coronavirus appears to target cells in the lungs and possibly other cells in the respiratory system too. Cells infected by the virus generate more virus particles, which can then spread to other people, for instance, by coughing. The novel coronavirus is now known as SARS-CoV-2, because of its similarities to the virus that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). COVID-19 induced pandemic involves the whole food method.
