Coronavirus is a group of similar viruses capable of causing diseases ranging from severe fever to a more complex respiratory tract infection in human beings. Coronavirus is a viral disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Recently it was discovered in 2019, around a region called Wuhan in China, where the first case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) was reported. However, presently, the pandemic has been contracted by around 272,414,657 individuals claiming a total number of 5,344,576 lives, according to the Worldometer.
The pandemic comes with several symptoms: fever, headache, cough, chest pain, difficult breathing, etc. Several preventive measures have been rolled out to curtail the menace.
According to the World Bank, the Covid-19 pandemic has notably been the greatest global threat that affected the world after World War II.
It is noteworthy that the pandemic comes in phases right from the first time it was discovered to date. Phase one of the pandemic took place between January and mid-March of 2020.
During this period, there were no active management practices or preventive measures such as social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus. At this stage, the virus was transmitting at a one-infected-person-infects-two-more rate.
After this phase of the pandemic comes the second stage, where social distancing, among other precautions, was put in place by the World Health Organization.
A distance of not less than 2 meters is expected between two or more individuals, and a ban is globally placed on the overcrowding of areas.
The aftermath of the seemingly careless handling of the first phase was quite scary for even the countries with the best medical facilities. Infections began to increase at a geometric progression with schools, worship places, marketplaces, organizations, enterprises, and firms shut down. Virtually everything went remote. The third phase of the pandemic, which is the stage we are in and known as the Management stage, is where everything is placed under control and regulation.
It is the post-pandemic period. Schools, workspaces, and worship places are opened with certain precautions. Some of these measures include; washing one’s hand frequently, sneezing to the elbow, avoiding a congested area, social distancing, sanitizers and nose masks, vaccination, and everything you can describe as personal hygiene.
The virus that caused the coronavirus pandemic has undergone different mutations ever since the outbreak. This is the simplest explanation for the rise of variants.
The Delta variant seemed like the most dangerous because it even withstood vaccination. However, with the current decline in the number of infected individuals, the world is heaving a deep sigh of relief from the pandemic as it appears that there will be a breakthrough soon.

During these pandemic phases, the world has suffered more losses of both lives and valuable possessions. Some people lost their jobs to the severity of the pandemic; others lost their companies and establishments due to bankruptcy.
The pandemic altered the social interactions among people and the economic status of the whole world. It affects the budget of nations as none planned ahead of such a disaster that just arrived unexpectedly.
Close interactions among families are broken due to the lockdown, among other effects. Couples could not continue romance like before, in a bid to keep the home safe, and especially their kids and grannies. By the way, I should let you know for free that the use of sex toys increased sporadically at this time as well.
In response,sex toy robotics also gained a boom. Manufacturers worked on improving their toys to bring more satisfaction. For fear of contracting the deadly pandemic from their partners, couples also maintained social distancing and random effects on sexual intercourse. A subsequent article will concentrate on its impact on sexual relations. Sure, you would love to read that.
Don’t forget to bookmark this site Against the background provided earlier, there are indications already of a new variant. This new wave is another contagious variant of the coronavirus, the Omicron.
On the 26th day of November this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated this variant with the code B.1.1.529. This variant was discovered in the South African region of the World, and it keeps increasing. The number of people tested positive in the area has increased drastically. Epidemiologists are still researching whether the infection is due to Omicron or otherwise. Different researchers across the globe have been extensively studying and observing the variant to understand its nature compared to the previous ones. The currently available information includes: It is yet to be discovered whether or not the new variant, Omicron, is more transmissible than the previous variant, including the Delta.
It is also not clear whether or not Omicron causes infections that are way more severe than those caused by other variants.
It is also predicted that those already infected by other virus variants are the most susceptible to the new variant. However, the available report or evidence to back this up is limited.
As a global healthcare body, the World Health Organization is working relentlessly with some other technical partners to observe the response of Omicron to the available preventive measures.
It is studying the impact of measures such as vaccination, nose masks, social distancing, among others, on the new variant. Getting to know the exact transmission mode would save a lot, and it is still being researched. The PCR tests carried out on infected individuals for other variants are being tested on this new one to see if there is any need to devise other additional tests for it or not.
The type and duration of tests to be conducted would be communicated to the world anytime adequate information worthy of holding on to is available. The various treatments available to victims of the pandemic remain till the moment.
However, these treatments would be tested on infected individuals of Omicron to see whether they will be effective or not. Some of these tests include IL6 Receptor Blockers and Corticosteroids.

The World Health Organization has dispersed myriads of researchers throughout the country to help discover everything there is about this new variant of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The studies include its transmissibility, performance of vaccines and diagnostic tests, the severity of the infection and its symptoms, and finally, the effectiveness of available treatments.
It is no more news that the Covid-19 pandemic has shaken the world down to its root without leaving out any nation – not even the developed.
The world is currently experiencing a post-pandemic relief when it comes to noticing again that there is another phase of the pandemic.
There are comments and predictions also that it seems the virus has come to stay just like fever. As established in the article,the newly discovered wave of the pandemic is neither a myth nor fiction but a humbling reality.
Although nothing about the new variant is clear yet, its name and the designated code are known already, thus, ascertaining its existence. Succinctly, the whole pattern of the virus has been a series of outbreaks of new cases, followed by declines in the number of affected individuals
