The virus has a reproductive number of 2-4 persons per new infected person. There are many variables to take into consideration concerning calculating the time until the pandemic is over. Therefore, statistical methods could be researched for this question.
The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a positive sense single stranded rRNA virus. This infection that has spread worldwide causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. The virus spreads with close contact and respiratory droplets. It infects human cells via binding the ACE-2 receptor.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
To add to the post above. The ACE2-R is expressed more in patients with hypertension, and as well and cardiac disease and obesity. The spike on the viral surface only has an affinity for the ACE2-R.
