Known as the Coronavirus, this virus causes a global pandemic that has affected many people in every aspect of their life. Even though it is well-known by many, this article helps to acknowledge people to know more about it, especially through the scientific perspective. Let’s see what it looks like under an electron microscope.

As starters, Coronaviruses are indeed a large family of viruses that cause disease in humans and animals. In humans, it usually causes respiratory tract infections, ranging from the common cold to serious illness. Little did many people know, there are various different types of Coronavirus exist in this world but there is only one specific type of virus from the mentioned family that causes COVID-19 and has been huge trouble to many people around this world.

This strand is the cause for the current open episode of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is exceptionally comparable to MERS-CoV and the initial SARS-CoV, and it begins when it was officially found in China at the end of the year 2019. There have been approximately 140,000 cases of COVID-19, with a current mortality rate of 7% and the numbers and percentage keep on increasing. In mid-February, NPR distributed a piece that showed pictures of SAR-CoV-2, taken from beneath the sharp eye of a filtering electron magnifying lens.
