Pandemics are wide-ranging recrudescence flare-up of infectious disease that bring morbidity and mortality above an extensive geographic area to a great extent, and lead to remarkable economic, social and political disturbance. Evidence proposes that the probability of pandemic has expanded over the past century due to increased global travel, urbanization, various changes in usage of land, integration, and significant utilization of the environment.

COVID-19

COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus, which emanated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. This disease results in respiratory illness, with symptoms like dry cough, fever and in more intense cases, it also causes shortness of breath. Other symptoms may contain diarrhea, fatigue, muscle pain, sore throat, loss of smell, and also abdominal pain.

 The time from exhibition to the outset of symptoms is mostly around five days but may vary from two to fourteen days.

Sars-2

SARS is the name of the respiratory illness caused by SARS-COV. SARS stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome. The beginning of the sars is guessed to be bats. It has been believed that the virus made its way from bats to an intermediate animal host called civet cat. The common symptom is fever, which can be accompanied by other symptoms such as cough, fatigue and other body aches.

If the conditions get worse, the respiratory illness leads to serious illnesses such as shortness of breath, pneumonia, or respiratory distress.

COVID-19 cases can extend from mild to severe, however sars were generally more severe. But COVID-19 appears to spread more easily. There haven’t been any reported cases since 2004 as illiberal measures were effectuated to bring the spread to an end, but the spread of COVID-19 can be more demanding to terminate because the virus that promotes this disease appears to spread more easily.
