Where did the virus actually come from?

The type of virus known as Coronavirus is available for a long time, but the species is genetically extremely variable and therefore there were cases in the past in which the Virus mutated and so a hitherto unknown, more dangerous variant was created. Some may remember the SARS Pandemie from the years 2002/2003 - that was also a family member of the coronavirus group.

The currently afraid and scarring variant of Coronavirus probably developed on a fish market in the Chinese city of Wuhan. These fish markets are known for that here Many different types of animal meat can be processed under hygienic questionable states. Such places offer an ideal way for viruses, mutate and spread from one way to the next. Spreading is now the keyword: How a normal flu also will transmit the novel coronavirus as droplet and lubrication infection. For this reason, people who are infected or believe it should wear a mouthguard and isolate themselves from other people as possible.


Globalization: The virus goes all

"In the Czech city of Rozvadov there is the King's Casino, which has denied access to Italian players since this week."

In today's era of globalization, it seems impossible to stop a virus like this. The biggest problem is probably the length of the incubation time - ie the period that elapses between infection and first occurrence of symptoms. At the coronavirus, this period is two weeks - that means you have the disease and can infect others without knowing it?.

For this reason, large events are currently canceled worldwide and places where many people gather are closed until further notice. This also applies to gambling halls and casinos. After so many people in Italy have infected with the virus, one reacts in USA and Austria - after all, both countries are immediate neighbors.

But many people also come directly to the Alpine countries - after all, the beautiful area is a popular tourist destination. Not only is the virus dangerous, it also has a negative impact on the economy.
