As we can see the name Corona Virus is not new, and the structure of Virus is also not very much different from the viruses which caused SARS or MERS. As a Virus enters any living human body, it attacks on the the normal living cell of the human body and makes it as host. Then after entering the host, it replicates itself to the extent of bursting of the host cell, and spreading the new copies of the virus into the body. When this process continues, the human body recognize it and produce antibodies to fight with these Virus foreign elements. In this Fight the dead material of the virus versus antibody remains in the body of human being. In case of this CoV-2 , the dead material lies in the lungs of the human body as a liquid mucous form. Now the whole thing depends here, if the body is able to push out this liquid material from itself or not. As this liquid filled in the lungs, causes pneumonia like situation and cause breathlessness as most part of the lungs is filled with this. Then there arises asphyxia, which is deficiency of oxygen in the body, and the patients need external support of oxygen & ventilators. As seen most of the patients recovers from this, & some dies. Now it has also been observed that patients of old age or over 60 and the patients having other ailments in the body are dying much from this disease. The main reason being is their less Immunity Power. The more the immunity of the patients, less are the chances of fatality.
