Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are not only restricted to causing illness in humans but also affect animals such as camels, cattle, cats, and bats, thus affecting a large group of living species. The outbreak of Corona virus in late December 2019 (also known as COVID-19) raised major concerns when the outbreak started getting tremendous. While the first case was discovered in Wuhan, China, it did not take long for the disease to travel across the globe and infect every continent (except Antarctica), killing thousands of people. Since it has become a global concern, different countries have been working toward the treatment and generation of vaccine, leading to different speculations. While some argue that the vaccine may only be a few weeks away, others believe that it may take some time to create the vaccine. Given the increasing number of deaths, the COVID-19 has caused havoc worldwide and is a matter of serious concern. Thus, there is a need to study how the disease has been propagating across continents by numbers as well as by regions. This study incorporates a detailed description of how the COVID-19 outbreak started in China and managed to spread across the globe rapidly. We take into account the COVID-19 outbreak cases (confirmed, recovered, death) in order to make some observations regarding the pandemic. Given the detailed description of the outbreak, this study would be beneficial to certain industries that may be affected by the outbreak in order to take timely precautionary measures in the future. Further, the study lists some industries that have witnessed the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on a global scale.
冠状病毒是一个庞大的病毒家族,不仅会导致人类患病,还会感染骆驼、牛、猫和蝙蝠等动物,从而影响一大群生物物种。2019年12月底冠状病毒的爆发(也称为COVID-19)在爆发规模变得巨大时引发了重大关注。虽然第一例病例在中国武汉被发现,但这种疾病没过多久就传播到全球,感染了每个大洲(南极洲除外),导致数千人死亡。自从它成为全球关注的问题以来,不同国家一直在致力于治疗方法的研究和疫苗的研发,引发了各种猜测。一些人认为疫苗可能只需几周就能研制出来,另一些人则认为研制疫苗可能需要一些时间。鉴于死亡人数不断增加,COVID-19在全球范围内造成了严重破坏,是一个令人严重关切的问题。因此,有必要研究这种疾病是如何在各大洲以及各个地区通过数量进行传播的。这项研究详细描述了COVID-19疫情在中国是如何开始并迅速蔓延至全球的。我们考虑了COVID-19疫情的病例(确诊、康复、死亡)情况,以便对这一流行病进行一些观察。鉴于对疫情的详细描述,这项研究对于可能受到疫情影响的某些行业将有益处,以便它们在未来及时采取预防措施。此外,该研究列出了一些在全球范围内受到COVID-19疫情影响的行业。
