Epidemic levels of coronavirus (COVID-19) illness have been documented. The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly expanding its web of destruction across the globe, threatening to strike every country and every person. This outbreak has the potential to cause widespread human suffering, widespread terror, widespread economic disruption, and stress the progress of all of humanity. COVID-19 is a lethal illness with an expected mortality rate of 4%. Extreme forms of this disease include serious breathing problems like pneumonia, stomach problems, impaired immune systems, kidney failure, and even death. The COVID-19 infection has a pathophysiology quite similar to that of SARS and MERS coronavirus infections. Currently, no medicines or vaccinations exist for coronaviruses like COVID-19. The World Health Organization reports that, as of March 23, 2020, there will have been 4,21,792 confirmed cases of Corona virus illness (COVID-19) and 18,883 confirmed deaths. There are currently no cures or vaccinations for COVID-19. Even though there have been many clinical trials, research into remedies is still in its infancy.
