Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has infected nearly one million people and had killed thousand in the world, which originated from Wuhan, China that was discovered in 2019 and spread to other countries in the world. What is coronavirus? According to the World Health Organization (WHO) coronavirus disease(COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. According to the research coronavirus are a family of viruses that cause disease in animal. A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Moreso, viruses spread in many ways. One transmission pathway is through disease bearing organisms known as vectors, for example, virusare often transmitted from plant sap, such as aphids, and virus in animals can be carried by blood sucking insects. Where does it originated from? In December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak was reported in Wuhan, China. On December 2019, the outbreak was traced to a novel strain of coronavirus, which was given the interim name 2019-nCoV by the world health organization (WHO) later renamed SARS-CoV-2 by the international committee on taxonomy of viruses. Further more, how does it transmitted to human since virus transmitted from living cell to living cell. Some group of researchers believed that coronavirus is from a wet market in Wuhan which sold bothdead and live animals including fish and birds. Such market pose a heightened riskof virus jumping from animals to humans because hygiene standards are difficult to maintain if live animals are being keptand butchered on site. Typically, they are also densely packed allowing disease to spread from species to species. Another group of researchers believed that the Huanan seafood wholesale market may not be the original source of viral transmission to humans. The virus has similarity to a bat coronavirus, so it is widely suspected to originated from bats as well. Thanks Rate my research. |

Until a vaccine or treatment is ready what can I do? Vaccines prevent infections and the best way of doing that at the moment is good hygiene. If you are infected by coronavirus, then for most people it would be mild and can be treated at home with bed-rest, paracetamol and plenty of fluids. Some patients may develop more severe disease and need hospital treatment. |

Nice: British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe's takeover of French club cleared Patrick Vieira's Nice finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season The takeover of French Ligue 1 side Nice by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has been cleared by the country's competition authority. Ratcliffe, Britain's third richest man, reportedly had a €100m (£88.77m) offer accepted earlier this year. He also owns Swiss second division side Lausanne, which he took over in 2017. Nice, managed by former Arsenal and France midfielder Patrick Vieira, are joint top of the French top-flight, winning both of their opening games. The founder of chemical company Ineos, Ratcliffe is worth £18.15bn. He took over and rebranded cycling's Team Sky in May and also invested £110m in Britain's America's Cup sailing team last year. In an interview with BBC Sport earlier this year, Ratcliffe said he is a "tortured Manchester United fan" but has previously been linked with a £2bn bid to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich. He added: "We've dipped our toe in the water with football, it's a very different sport. "It's quite a complicated sport and world, so we're in the process of learning. We haven't got to where we've got to in our chemicals and business world by being rash and impetuous and stupid, obviously. "We're not in a desperate hurry to get to the end game in football." Jim Ratcliffe Ratcliffe fell from top spot in 2018 to third in the Sunday Times' UK rich list for 2019 @bbc sports report |

Paul Pogba racist abuse: Twitter to meet Man Utd and Kick It Out Pogba, Maguire, Rashford Pogba was supported online by Manchester United team-mates Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford Twitter will meet Manchester United and Kick It Out following online racist abuse directed at Paul Pogba. The Frenchman became the third player in a week to be racially abused on social media following a penalty miss. Several of Pogba's team-mates criticised the abuse, while England women's manager Phil Neville called for footballers to "boycott" social media. Twitter said it will meet with any stakeholders to show the "proactive work" being done to tackle abuse. It said in a statement: "We have always maintained an open and healthy dialogue with our partners in this space, but we know we need to do more to protect our users. Racist behaviour has no place on our platform and we strongly condemn it. "Over the the next few weeks, Twitter representatives will meet with Manchester United, Kick It Out and any other civil society stakeholders interested in hearing about the proactive work Twitter is doing to address online racist abuse towards certain footballers in the UK. "To this end, we look forward to working more closely with our partners to develop shared solutions to this issue." Ryan Giggs: Wales boss condemns online racist abuse by 'hooligans' What action is Twitter taking? Twitter rules prohibit users from promoting violence against, threatening or harassing people on the basis of race, ethnicity or other protected groups. Since 2018, it has increased the number of accounts suspended for evading a previous ban on the service by 45% and tripled the number of accounts suspended within 24 hours after receiving a report. Pogba saw a 68th-minute penalty saved by Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio in the 1-1 draw at Molineux on Monday - the fourth spot-kick Pogba has missed for United in the Premier League since the start of last season. United defender Harry Maguire called on social media companies to "stop these pathetic trolls", while striker Marcus Rashford said "enough now, this needs to stop". Former United player Neville said "boycotting" social media would send a "powerful message", while the club themselves said they are "working to identify" those responsible for the racist abuse directed at Pogba. Facebook also said in a statement that it will "invest heavily in developing tools and technologies to prevent bullying and harassment" and people breaking the rules will be "permanently banned". Last week, Chelsea condemned "abhorrent posts" aimed at Tammy Abraham after his decisive penalty miss in the Super Cup against Liverpool. Then on Sunday, Reading striker Yakou Meite called out racist abuse sent to him on social media after he had a spot-kick saved. |

New Zealand speaker cradles MP’s baby during parliament debate Media caption Speaker Trevor Mallard was filmed smiling as he fed the baby during a lively debate The speaker of New Zealand's parliament has cradled a lawmaker's baby while he presided over a debate in the House of Representatives. Trevor Mallard tweeted a photo of himself feeding MP Tāmati Coffey's baby boy in the speaker's seat. Mr Coffey, Labour MP for Waiariki, announced the birth of his son, Tūtānekai Smith-Coffey, in July. The baby was born via a surrogate mother and is the biological son of Mr Coffey's partner, Tim Smith. In a tweet about the baby's birth, Mr Coffey said he and his partner were "overwhelmed at the miracle of life" and the surrogate mother - a friend of Mr Smith - was "doing awesome". 'I thought parental leave would be easy' Ardern and Bhutto: Two different pregnancies in power On Wednesday, Mr Coffey attended a parliamentary debate with his baby for the first time after returning from paternity leave. During the session, father-of-three Mr Mallard took on the role of babysitter as well as speaker. @SpeakerTrevor@SPEAKERTREVOR Report A picture of Mr Coffey holding up the baby in parliament was shared by Green Party MP Gareth Hughes on Twitter. "Lovely to have a baby in the House, and what a beautiful one @tamaticoffey," Mr Hughes wrote in the tweet @GarethMP@GARETHMP Report Speaking to Newshub, Mr Coffey said he felt "really supported by my colleagues from across the House". Mr Coffey is the latest MP to bring his baby to parliament, following the example of politicians across the world. Danish MP told baby 'not welcome' in parliament Australian politician becomes first to breastfeed in parliament Kenyan MP with baby ordered to leave parliament Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson, who attended a debate with her baby in 2018, and Australian Senator Larissa Waters, who breastfed in parliament in 2017, are among the legislators to make headlines. And in September last year, New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made history by bringing her baby along to her debut speech at the UN in New York. |
