Sever acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-CoV) , Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are members of the corona virus family that have been implicated for epidemics and deaths globally. These viruses have similar structural features and pathogenesis, yet are different in terms of genome sequence, coat protein and infectivity. There are no proven treatments or vaccines for previous epidemics caused by MERS COV and SARS CoV and the infection spread by SARS COV-2 has been more pronounced as compared to the other two. So far, the spread of SARS CoV 2 can be prevented by social distancing and treated with supportive therapies. This article reviews the three corona viruses and draws comparison between their features to better understand the disease process.

Corona Viruses

Corona viruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). A novel corona virus (Co V) is a new strain of corona virus that has not been previously identified in humans. Corona viruses can be transmitted from person to person, usually after close contact with an infected patient. There is no specific treatment for disease caused by a novel corona virus. In this Hypothesis, the author proposes an alternative herbal inhaler, syrup, drug and a vaccine for curing Covid-19.

A respiratory infection owing to a novel corona virus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. World health organization declared name for this novel corona virus as “COVID-19” is now a worldwide pandemic and has been recognized in more than 200 countries. Corona viruses are virus that is known to cause infection varying from the common cold to more critical diseases like Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). It is known to transmit by respiratory droplets released when corona virus patient coughs, sneezes or talks and if another person inhales the droplets or touches these surfaces and further touches his face, eyes or mouth can get an infection. Currently there are no specific vaccines or medicines for Corona virus disease and treatment given based on symptoms. But many vaccines are under investigation.

Serological assays can contribute to the estimation of population proportions with previous immunologically relevant contact with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. In this study, we compared five commercially available diagnostic assays for the diagnostic identification of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies. Depending on the assessed immunoglobulin subclass, recorded sensitivity ranged from 17.0% to 81.9% with best results for immunoglobulin G. Specificity with blood donor sera ranged from 90.2% to 100%, with sera from EBV patients it ranged from 84.3% to 100%. Agreement from fair to nearly perfect was recorded depending on the immunoglobulin class between the assays, the with best results being found for immunoglobulin G. Only for this immunoglobulin class was the association between later sample acquisition times (about three weeks after first positive PCR results) and positive serological results in COVID-19 patients confirmed. In conclusion, acceptable and comparable reliability for the assessed immunoglobulin G-specific assays could be shown, while there is still room for improvement regarding the reliability of the assays targeting the other immunoglobulin classes.

The disaster due to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) around the world has made investigators enthusiastic about working on different aspects of COVID-19. However, although the pandemic of COVID-19 has not yet ended, it seems that COVID-19 compared to the other coronavirus infections (the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome [MERS] and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome [SARS]) is more likely to target the heart. Comparing the previous presentations of the coronavirus family and the recent cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 can also help in predicting possible future challenges and taking measures to tackle these issues.

Corona Viruses

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a group of enveloped viruses with nonsegmented, single-stranded, and positive-sense RNA genomes. Apart from infecting a variety of economically important vertebrates (such as pigs and chickens), six coronaviruses have been known to infect human hosts and cause respiratory diseases. Among them, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are zoonotic and highly pathogenic coronaviruses that have resulted in regional and global outbreaks Coronaviruses possess a distinctive morphology, the name being derived from the outer fringe, or corona‖ of embedded envelope protein. Members of the family Coronaviridae cause a broad spectrum of animal and human diseases. Uniquely, replication of the RNA genome proceeds through the generation of a nested set of viral mRNA molecules. Human coronavirus (HCoV) infection causes respiratory diseases with mild to severe outcomes. In the last 15 years, we have witnessed the emergence of two zoonotic, highly pathogenic HCoVs: severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Replication of HCoV is regulated by a diversity of host factors and induces drastic alterations in cellular structure and physiology. In this review all (as we possible) information about Corona viruses are given. Keywords: Corona virus, respiratory, viruses, Hcov, host, RNA.

Corona viruses cause common cold, and infections caused by corona viruses are generally self-resolving. During the last 4 years, corona viruses have become the most important viruses worldwide because of the occurrence of several recent deaths caused by corona viruses in Saudi Arabia. Spread of the infection occurred worldwide; however, most cases of mortality have occurred in the Middle East. Owing to the predominance of outbreaks in the Middle Eastern countries, the virus was renamed a Middle East respiratory syndrome corona virus (MERS-CoV) by the Corona virus Study Group. The Center for Diseases Control and Prevention and World Health Organization maintain a website that is updated frequently with new cases of MERS-CoV infection. In this review, we describe the history and epidemiology of this novel virus. Studies of the genetics and molecular mechanisms of this virus are expected to facilitate the development of vaccines in the future.

Saat ini bumi sedang sedang ditimpa musibah besar, yaitu wabah atau virusyang biasa dikenal dengan Covid-19 atau virus korona. Virus ini menyerangmanusia di seluruh dunia, sehingga menyebabkan negara-negara di dunia sangatwaspada, dan menetapkan untuk melakukan kegiatan dari rumah saja, serta harussocial distancing untuk menjaga agar memperlambat penyebaran virus koronatersebut. Menurut WHO (2019), Corona virus merupakan keluarga besar virus yangmenyebabkan penyakit pada manusia dan hewan. Pada manusia biasanyamenyebabkan penyakit infeksi saluran pernapasan, mulai flu biasa hingga penyakityang serius seperti Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) dan SindromPernafasan Akut Berat/ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) (Nahdi et al.,2020; Wax & Christian, 2020). Corona virus merupakan jenis baru yang ditemukanpada manusia sejak kejadian luar biasa muncul di Wuhan, Cina, pada Desember2019, kemudian diberi nama Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2(SARS-COV2), dan menyebabkan penyakit Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID- 19).Pandemi Covid-19 membuat beberapa sarana umum mati atau ditutupsementara, termasuk sekolah yang membuat kegiatan belajar mengajar dialihkanmenjadi kegiatan pembelajaran jarak jauh demi keamanan dan kesehatan. Hal initentunya berdampak untuk orang tua, dimana orang tua harus memberikanpembelajaran pada anaknya di rumah.Sun, Tang, dan Zou (2020) menyebutkan bahwa dampak covid ini membuatkegiatan belajar dilakukan dengan jarak jauh bagi semua elemen khususnyapeserta didik dan pendidik, hingga orang tua. Tentu hal ini menuai pro dan kontra,banyak orang tua yang mengungkapkan bahwa mereka merasa keberatan ketikaanak belajar di rumah, karena di rumah anak merasa bukan waktunya belajarnamun mereka cenderung menyukai bermain saat di rumah, walaupun di situasipandemi seperti ini. Namun, tidak sedikit juga orang tua yang setuju dengandiberlakukannya sekolah daring ini, karena tentu saja keamanan dan kesehatanpara siswa terjamin karena tidak bertemu dengan orang banyak setiap harinya,dimana resiko tertular virus sedikit. Maka disini akan terlihat bagaimana pola asuhorang tua saat belajar di rumah.

The COVID-19 infection caused by Novel Corona Virus has been declared a pandemic and a public health emergency of international concern. Infections caused by Corona Virus have been previously recognized in people and is known to cause Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Unlike the earlier infections, COVID19 spreads alarmingly and the experience and volume of the scientific knowledge on the virus is small and lacks substantiation. To manage this crisis, Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to play a key role in understanding and addressing the COVID-19 crisis. It tends to be valuable to identify the infection, analyse it, treat it and also predict the stages of infection. Artificial intelligence algorithms can be applied to make diagnosis of COVID-19 and stepping up research and therapy. The paper explains a detailed flowchart of COVID-19 patient and discusses the use of AI at various stages. The preliminary contribution of the paper is in identifying the stages where the use of Artificial Intelligence and its allied fields can help in managing COVID-19 patient and paves a road for systematic research in future.
