Coronavirus - Symptoms and Diagnosis

A newly detected virus named Coronavirus have appeared in Chinese city of Wuhan which have claimed more than 43 lives worldwide till now. It have infected hundreds of Chinese citizens with a pneumonia-like illness, according to China's National Health Commission. This virus arrived in United States and Europe this week. The bulk are in China, with a handful of cases confirmed in Thailand, Japan, South Korea and the US, where a man is his 30s in Washington state and a woman in 70s has been confirmed to have the disease. Further spread was confirmed on this friday when Australia announced its first confirmed case and France announced three confirmed cases.

Here is the breakdown as it stands : 
  • China: 923 confirmed cases
  • Thailand: 5 confirmed cases 
  • Singapore: 3 confirmed cases
  • France: 3 confirmed cases
  • Vietnam: 2 confirmed cases 
  • Japan: 2 confirmed cases
  • South Korea: 2 confirmed cases
  • US: 2 confirmed cases
  • Australia: 1 confirmed case

Wuhan the epicenter of this virus has been shut downed  to reduce the spread of the virus, canceling transportation leaving the city starting at 10 a.m. Thursday. The travel restrictions were extended to four other cities (Huanggang, Ezhou, Chibi and Zhijiang) later that day, and constraints were announced in nine more cities on Friday -- impacting more than 35 million people. 

The restrictions come during a busy travel period for China, when citizens typically travel for the Lunar New Year. Major public events Chinese capital Beijing have been canceled, and both Beijing's Forbidden city and Shanghai's Disneyland said they'd close from Saturday. All of the restrictions and closures will last indefinitely.

The symptoms of most coronaviruses are similar to any other upper respiratory infection, including runny nose, coughing, sore throat, common cold and sometimes a fever. In most cases, you won't know whether you have a coronavirus or a different cold-causing virus. 

You could get lab tests, including nose and throat cultures and blood testes, to find out whether your cold was caused by a coronavirus, but there's no reason to. The test results wouldn't change how you treat your symptoms, which typically go away in a few days.

But if a coronavirus infection spreads to the lower respiratory tract (your windpipe and your lungs), it can cause pneumonia, especially in older people, people with heart disease, or people with weakened immune systems.

Till now not a single case is confirmed in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. In south Asia Nepal is the only country where coronovirus have appeared. In the case of the appearance of above mentioned symptoms, you should immediately contact local medical authorities and handle this deadly disease more than seriously.

All about One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR) of China


One Belt One Road,Belt and Road or simply OBOR is China's strategical initiative taken for advancement in many fields. This initiative was firstly proposed by Chinese president Xi Zinping in 2013. This is based on ancient time Silk Rout which connect China and eastern Asia to Europe and Northern Africa. China has invested more then $ 40 Billion in this project, this is a big amount for China when its economy is shrinking and unemployment is at peak but Chinese officials say that benefits of this project will be enormous. China will be connected to West Asia, Northern & Eastern Africa and Eastern Europe directly. It will be easy for China to aces central Asia for Petroleum and Gas energy. It will also reduce cost of shipping Petroleum from Arab countries. Chines authorities claim that this is only an multi dimensional economic project but opponents say something different. Among China's neighbour India was first to oppose this project. Indian authorities claim that OBOR passes through Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and that is an integral part of India so we cannot let anyone to use our land without our permission. This project is highly centred around Pakistan and this is going to inhance the partnership of both countries which is alarming for India.
                                     Experts says that if Belt and Road initiative will get expected success it will decrease the role of North Atlantic region in trade and status quo regarding supremacy. China has get success in utilizing its manpower and resources and via OBOR they will get diplomatic and strategic edge over United States. This giant project includes entire South East, South and Central Asia at first phase. Its second phase will bring West Asia, Europe and entirely whole Africa under its influence. Nowadays Chinese authorities are organizing meetings with leaders of Latin America. Here we can say that China is ready to displace United States as biggest player of world trade and influence.
                  Here we have to know about recent Military activities which are parts of OBOR. China get success is getting Gawadar on leage from Government of Pakistan for 40 years. Soon Chinese nuclear submarines are going to deployed there. This is a direct threat for security of India. China has also established its first offshore Army base in Somalia. They says this is for countering Somali pirates and secure China's sea business routes but real intentions are something else. China is also working on establishing a Grand Alliance to face any harsh and dangerous threat from NATO. 
                                                                       Now we have to start thinking about a world without international presence of United States. China is very close to US in economic terms and is spending huge amount of its earnings on its Army, research and space program. China have a stable regime which is less corrupted then few years ago. OBOR will once again make Asia or specially East Asia as epicenter of world trade and tariff once again. 
               CPEC or China Pakistan Economic corridor is another important part of OBOR. This is a multiple sector investment in all fields in Pakistan. As China have stated Pakistan as its "All weathers friend"  China is proving her words. They have connected Pakistani Kashmir with Xinjiang region of China. Construction of eight line highway is going on. This will connected Gawadar to the Kashgar in China. By this road China will decrease its dependence on sea rout for trade with Gulf countries, Europe and Africa. This project will give employment and infrastructure to Pakistan. At same time few people in Pakistan are worried about sovereignty of their country. They have noted that China is working like East India Company. CPEC also includes inter connection of Main metropolitan cities of Pakistan and developing Gawadar as world class city. 
                                                    When OBOR is going on ground, China is gaining strategic heights in sea. "They are working on Maritime Silk route there." In this project they are connection Guangzhou with entire world. They have hired Chittagong port from Bangladesh, Hambantota from Sri Lanka an another port in Maldives and finally Gawadar in Pakistan. Some Indian security analysts mention this hiring of ports as "Ring of Pears". China is building army and navy bases near India. This is directly related with imperialistic mindset of China. 
             In a time when world is changing rapidly, we have to update all sectots of our Economy, Armed forces and another all institutions. As Indian authorities have refused to join OBOR and also questions it so it will defiantly going to make wrong for us. Our water bodies are not safe and our borders are becoming less secure. This is the time to make big change and developed strong foreign policy to secure Indian rights throughout the world. "This is all from me, pleas inform me for any advice, criticism and complaint."
