COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new CORONA VIRUS, has spread to every continent except Antarctica. COVID-19 affects people varies from country to country; and also from person to person.
Europe and America have become EPICENTER. India and some other Asian countries are less affected by this.
Scientists are not certain where the VIRUS originated, though they know that CORONA VIRUS are passed between animals and humans. Scientists comprising the genetic sequence of SARS-COV-2 with a viral database suggest it originated in bats.
Since no bats were sold at seafood market in WUHAN at the disease epicenter, researchers suggest an intermediate animal possible the pangolin is responsible for transmission to human.
The number of persons affected by COVID-19 in US is many times than the number of people affected in India.
Two main reasons:
1. BCG VACCINATION treated Indians are less exposed to CORONA. BCG VACCINATION provide protection against COVID-19.
2. Many human friendly VIRUS like BACTERIOPHAGE available in drinking water in Rivers is also providing protection to Indians. BCG is generally not recommended for use in the US because of the low risk of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the variable effectiveness of the vaccine against adults pulmonary TB, and vaccine‘s potential interference with tuberculosis test skin test reactivity.
It was the early 1890, Ernest Hankin was studying cholera outbreak along the bank of Ganges. As the locals dumped their dead in the holy water, the river should have quickly transformed into a poisonous spring of the disease, with an epidemic sweeping through towns and villages down the valley.
Hankins concluded that something mysterious within the water was killing the germs before they could wreak havoc, but it took another 20 years for a French Scientist to suggest that this guardian angel was a type of VIRUS known as a BACTERIOPHAGE.
Long ignored by Scientists it is now possible that this VIRUS may save lives of millions of people.
