Corona virus

Corona virus or SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes COVID-19 disease that has killed more than a million people worldwide and scores of others infected. Still no vaccine has been available to cure the disease named - COVID-19. Several medicines that were used to cure


other similar type of illnesses have been used namely- Remdesivir, Favipiravir, Chloroquinine, Dexamethasone etc. Corona virus caused COVID-19 still remains unknown with newer symptoms appearing. Although mostly it looks like normal influenza still corona virus causes severe infection to lungs, failure in vital organs of the body and ultimate death due to breathing difficulties- Asphyxia. 

The symptoms of the disease - COVID-19 include headaches, muscle pain, skin rashes, dry cough, persistent fever, nausea, loss of smell, loss of taste, shortness of breath etc. Although these symptoms are common there are also some asymptomatic patients i.e. patients having no sign of any of these. These cases are more dangerous. But Rapid Antigen Test and RT-PCR Test (Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction Test) can prove the presence of the virus or disease. Swab samples from the nose or mouth are used to test.

More scarier part of COVID-19 is that it gets transmitted from people just by touch, standing with an infected person for more than few minutes or even by suspended air particles. Lockdowns given all over did prevent further infection but still more people have contacted the virus and the disease. Frequent hand-washing ,use of hand-sanitizers and social distancing - staying atleast 1 meter apart can slow infection of the disease and prevent it.

Politics

Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The academic study of politics is referred to as political science.

It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and non-violent,or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation.For example, abolitionist Wendell Phillips declared that "we do not play politics; anti-slavery is no half-jest with us."The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it.

A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries.Politics is exercised on a wide range of social levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through modern local governments, companies and institutions up to sovereign states, to the international level. In modern nation states, people often form political parties to represent their ideas. Members of a party often agree to take the same position on many issues and agree to support the same changes to law and the same leaders. An election is usually a competition between different parties.

A political system is a framework which defines acceptable political methods within a society. The history of political thought can be traced back to early antiquity, with seminal works such as Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Politics, Chanakya's Arthashastra and Chanakya Niti (3rd century BCE), as well as the works of Confucius.
