Smoke In The Air
Bangladesh is a South East Asian natural beautiful middle income country. Its economy is flourishing rapidly. In the last decade immense development has been noticed in every sphere of life including women empowerment. However, incidence of COVID-19 Pandemic has influenced every sector of Bangladesh badly. The area of Bangladesh is about 1,47,570s km and about 160 million people live here with peace and amity. Naturally, the density of population of this country is very high in comparing to some other developed countries of the world. Hence, Corona Virus (COVID-19) Pandemic has become the worst threat to the life of the people of this country and its economy as well as development. Anyway, to the reference of medical science, corona viruses are enveloped as a non-segmented positive sense RNA viruses belonging to the family Coronaviridae and the Order Nidovirales and broadly distributed in humans and other mammals [3]. Currently estimates of the incubation period of the virus range from 2-10 days. COVID-19 was discovered in 2019, which is responsible for global pandemic. So far as we know, the first contamination was made from bats to the people of a market of Wuhan city in China where wild birds and beasts were sold. So, China is the first affected country and birth place of COVID-19 contamination from bats to humans. Later, it has been spread to number of other countries around the world to a varying degree. The virus initially referred as 2019-nCoV and familiarly called "Wuhan corona virus". World health organization named it as COVID-19 because it doesn't refer to any geographical area, an animal, a person, or group people all of which can lead to stigma. The virus officially named as SARS CoV-2, which is genetically very similar to SARS Corona virus. Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses namely common cold and respiratory distress [1]. However, three times in the 21st century corona virus outbreaks have arisen from animal reservoirs, now the present virus epidemic from Wuhan city, china. Most of the virus circulates among animals including pigs, camels, bats and cats. Rarely, animal corona viruses that infect animals have emerged to infect people and can spread. However, COVID-19 community transmission and death tolls are the burning issues of the present world. So, the researchers designed this study to explore an over view on COVID-19 situation in Bangladesh as of 14 May, 2020, on the basis of secondary literature review.
