Introduction
A new corona virus is keeping the world in suspense. All continents are affected. It took over three months to reach the first 100,000 confirmed cases of infection, and only 12 days to reach the next 100,000. The number of infected doubled again within six days. On March 30, we had 724,945 confirmed cases and 34,041 deaths (numbers). This virus could be able to trigger a century crisis and claim countless casualties. The consequences for the economies and world trade are not foreseeable. Nobody knows what will happen. Everything is open.
The pathogen initially seemed far, far away in a southern Chinese province, the province of Hubei. In Wuhan, the capital, there was a certain accumulation of severe pneumonia of unknown cause in December 2019.
On the other hand, the situation on site was taken very seriously: On December 30, 2019, after ophthalmologist Li Wenliang informed colleagues about seven patients he was treating in the central hospital with suspected infection with the SARS virus Since then, disease signs could be assigned to the causer, and the events have been developing rapidly and dramatically ...

What is a Virus?
Unlike bacteria, viruses are not living beings and they do not have own cells. Therefore, viruses can only multiply within a suitable host cell. They are abusing the metabolism of human, animal, plant, fungal or bacterial cells for their own purposes. The replication cycle of a virus generally begins when a virus attaches to a surface protein on a host cell (adsorption), which the virus uses as a receptor. In bacteriophages, this is done by injecting its genetic material into a cell; in eukaryotes, the virus are invaded by endocytosis and then penetrate the cell of the host. Each type of virus has its own preference for the host organism as well as the type of cells in the organism. Viruses specialize in one or more hosts. To multiply, viruses dock and penetrate appropriate host cells. Therefore, most viruses are significantly smaller than body cells. Their diameter is usually between 30 and 300 nm. Only viroids are smaller, which consist only of a ribonucleic acid. Once in the host cell, the virus must first be freed from its envelopes (uncoating) before replication. These obligatory parasites reprogram the cell in such a way that it begins to produce individual virus components based on the supplied blueprint (the genetic material). Virus reproduction does not occur through growth and division, as in bacterues, but through replication of viral nucleic acid and synthesis of virus-specific proteins. The individual parts of the virus are then assembled into the complete virus in the host cell. The completed viruses then emerge from the host cell.
It is not uncommon for host cells to be destroyed. For example, the infected person perceives such destruction when he complains symptoms of a sore throat.
