The global pandemic besides health woes but has also resulted in millions of people losing their jobs. Majorly due to lockdown and staunch restrictions. None of the countries were prepared for the pandemic that resulted in thousands of deaths. The healthcare workers are risking their lives every day to bring the pandemic under control. Whilst navigating around such extraneous circumstances including dwindling medical supplies. 

Warman is just one example; there are thousands of other overseas students who have paid a fortune to study in the world’s best universities. But now, they have to stay back in their native countries and resume studying via online sessions. The sad reality also pertains to the fact that many students with dreams and aspirations to land a job, now have to suffer even more. There is a hiring freeze everywhere with the economy downtrodden sue to high unemployment and inflation. Also, travel bans and restrictions to ensue precautions and stop the virus from spreading have led to further disruptions. 

International students

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Many international students are also suffering due to uncertain prospects. Thousands of students have borrowed huge sums of money from banks with no means or source of paying the debt. This has further led to frustration as interest compiles with no job opportunity in pursuit. Also, taking online classes after paying a fortune is leading to depression and anxiety in many. Furthermore, these students have been robbed off of the opportunity to make important social and professional connections. One of the benefits of studying abroad is meeting equally accomplished colleagues. In this way, international students have the opportunity to form powerful connections. 

MBA from prestigious universities

An MBA from prestigious universities including Stanford can cost up to $150,000. Imagine paying up a fortune only to resort to online sessions via zoom application. The pandemic is challenging every aspect including ripping off people with a source of income and students with viable opportunities to pursue.

Origin of Coronavirus:

“A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus spreading across the globe. That case dates back to Nov. 17, 2019, according to the South Morning China Post.”

According to Live Science.

Cases in Wuhan were reported month after this case. As there are many rumors on social media that the virus is transmitted to humans through the bat soup in Wuhan due to video that went viral showing a young woman tucking into bat meat soup in a restaurant at Wuhan. Later it was known that video is not of Wuhan Restaurant where the soup was served. Now it is clear that some infected people had no connection to the market.  Scientists now suspect that coronavirus is originated in a bat and somehow transferred to another animal, possibly the pangolin, which then passed it on to humans.

How it can be transmitted?

• Coronavirus can be transmitted through sneeze or cough droplets, when you come into close contact with someone who has the Virus and is coughing or sneezing.

• By touching surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on as this is heavy virus by mass and so rely more on any surface than in air.

The virus can only survive a few hours if someone who has it coughs or sneezes on a surface. So practicing good hygiene can prevent it.

What are the symptoms of Coronavirus?

People may experience following symptoms:

• Runny nose
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Fever
• Difficulty breathing (severe cases)

Some people who were the victims of COVID-19 have also experienced problems affecting digestion or eye complaints (conjunctivitis).

Treatment:

There is no treatment or medicine for COVID-19, but medical care can treat most of the symptoms. Doctors are trialing already used drugs for viruses such as Ebola and HIV. Antibiotics do not work on viruses.

Prevention and Precautions:

According to WHO:

• You can reduce your risk of infection if you:
• Clean hands frequently with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
• Cover nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or flexed elbow.
• Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.

Other than these you should wear face mask, avoid going out, stay home, avoid public places, keep your surroundings clean, and avoid travelling.
