On the origin, transmission and consequences of the COVID-19 virus to human lives in India: with special reference to Kerala state. (Special Issue: COVID-19 and demographic impact.)

Humanity has often been taken by surprise by new strains of microorganisms that adversely affect human life expectancy The coronavirus outbreak is causing an unprecedented global health emergency and a global economic slowdown Epidemiologists are aware of various specimens of viruses like the ones that cause Malaria, for instance, and scientists have been able to meet such threats by introducing drugs that make them perish at a rapid pace so that the natural human resistance to meet such attacks become sufficient for the patients to return to normal health But viruses also try to survive by transmuting themselves into different strains that are capable of overcoming the existing antiviral drugs Probably, COVID-19 may be one such transmutation Hence the main objectives are to study how the COVID-19 virus affects the population and at what stage and time the epidemic will abate As primary data is challenging to get, we use ICMR and other Govt publications for the related information Simple demographic and statistical methods are used for the analysis At the early stages of the infection, we have no protocol on how to approach the virus But now the health department has the protocol and thus even though we have no medicine, we are able to increase the recovery rate and flatten the mortality Thus by following government and health workers\u0027 directions - Break the Chain movement - one can make sure that one is safe and also the people around him So governments need to take measures for testing as many people under observation as possible and assess their COVID-19 status at the earliest
