First, we must go over what a epidemic and pandemic are.
Epidemic:
An epidemic is the occurrence of disease in excess of normal in a specific community or region, usually occurring suddenly and spreading rapidly. It is often referred to as an "outbreak" of disease. An example of an epidemic would be an influenza outbreak.
Pandemic:
An epidemic of an infectious disease that spreads throughout human population across a region.
Now let's go over what required:
- Briefly explain about impact of corona virus in human health and environment.
Human Health:
___
Affects on the body:
___
Terms for SHORT:
Terms for short:
- Corona virus:CV
- Angiotensin converting enzyme:ACE
- Blood pressure:BP
Let's go over how the coronavirus attacks the body.
__
Take, for example, the rapidly spreading corona virus, which affects a variety of organs in our bodies.
__
1. The Pancreas
One of the most vital organs in the body is the pancreas. It aids in the control of blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that takes excess sugar (needed by the body for energy) from the blood and stores it in the pancreas. Now, in the event of a CV, diabetic people are more vulnerable to its fatality because, if the pancreas is attacked, the body's insulin output is restricted, leading in excess sugar in the blood and lowered immunity.
2. The Lungs
- In the human body, the lungs produce two types of proteins:
ACE is a protein that raises blood pressure in the body.
ACE 2:It's responsible for lowering blood pressure in the body.
- The CV lowers the synthesis of ACE while boosting the production of ACE 2, leading in a net decrease in blood pressure in the body.
As a result, leaky blood vessels frequently occur, allowing blood to enter the air sacs of the lungs, creating trouble with CO2-O2 exchange in the body.
3. Excess jelly-like material synthesis (due to excessive secretion of such fluids)
With that in mind, we should take the information above with a grain of salt. Various infections would be present in distinct people, each with a different severity degree. There is, however, much more to learn.

Effects on the Economy and Environment
The C0VID-19 virus has decimated the global economy, millions of people have lost their jobs, and millions of companies may not survive, much alone prosper again, thus the long-term economic impact is significantly bigger than the epidemic. The only environmental benefit has been seen in high population cities such as Los Angeles and New York, where CO2 emissions have been reduced, but given that this is a fractional and temporary benefit, the energy industry has been crippled and many will not survive, as in fracking for natural gas, the cleanest of all heating fuel sources, so long term, this will increase pollution as oil will have to replace what is lost in the natural gas industry. There are always winners and losers when it comes to environmental industries.
