The Corona Virus is becoming a pandemic according to the German Minister of Health. Worldwide the number of victims is large, in particular in Asian countries (mainly China, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia?). The implications are manyfold. Health implication, psychological implications (fear, isolation, and return to society) and severe economic implications. How is your country coping with this corona pandemic? What is your institution doing? What are you doing?
Stopping the work in all educational institutions for ten days to prevent the spread of the disease, establishing checkpoints to check arrivals, and alerting all health institutions to deal with suspected cases.
Dear Professor Dr. Zeyed T. Al-Rassam thanks for your answer. Is there anything else you can do for educational institutions? The need for information is enormous, not only about how to deal with the coronavirus but also about the social, psychological and economic consequences. People can lose a loved one and also their jobs. All the best, Carl
In Ecuador, the misinformation is leading and even with the official information provided by the ministry of health, the people are entering into a paranoia, many are spoken about establish quarantine and forbid the entrance of travelers.
Sorry to hear that Professor Dr. Galo Guillermo Farfam Cano about misinforming the Venezuelans. Panic is dangerous. So far it is not more than a dangerous flu influenza. We should conquer panic with experts on mass psychology. Why? Because the poor will suffer the most. The rich however will profit as always of any inequality. Let us discuss the panic reaction further. All the best Carl
What the German Health Minister said about the coronavirus is now a reality. The WHO calls the outbreak pandemic. The questions I've asked are even more relevant. In many countries,coronavirus we're losing loved ones. From the Chinese reports, we read that curing means that you can still have at least 6 months of misery from the coronavirus. In addition to tackling the corona virus (curbing its spread and curing as many people as possible), we as scientists need to look at the consequences of the coronavirus psychologically, sociobiologically, economically and in terms of damaging our illusion of invulnerability. All the best Carl (and take care).
Dear researchers, in N. Italy there is an incredible violent outbreak of this new disease, but now with traits very similar to SARS-2002 and MERS that the current COVID19 sensu Wuhan-Hubei, particularly for death rate and severity. This RG open question aim to recognize some of the underlying causes of this aberrant phenomenon https://www.researchgate.net/post/The_novel_Coronavirus_in_N_Italy_Lombardia_COVID19_2019nCoV_SARSCoV2_shows_a_fatality_rate_compatible_with_SARS_Why2
https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it - The name of the disease is Covid19 & the Virus is SARS-COV-2 .
As you read my book, I took it as a new phase of evolution.
We are isolated and I and my son's doing great after a decade. It's a blessing inn
disguise, time will tell.
System is good under covid-19.
Dear RG friends about the above question 'Coronavirus: SARS-CoV-2 leading to COVID-19? we now know much more, although still not everything. The world is suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, first, we were worried about the United States, then about Brazil and now about India. It is certain that COVID-19 will be with us for years to come. I deduce this from the reports of virologists and doctors from the various Management Outbreak Teams. In the meantime, many new dangerous mutations are emerging. One of the main causes is the lack of global vaccination. This is because the rich countries have to help the poorer ones. Only when every citizen of the world is vaccinated can we all live a little more peacefully. There is also an urgent need for a recovery plan for our world and earth, for all countries and continents. Things are going badly for the economy, the sociological and psychological well-being of people. Who is prepared to work on such a recovery plan? All the best, stay safe and healthy, Carl
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes the disease COVID-19 in humans1. So, yes, SARS-CoV-2 leads to COVID-19.
