It is endowed with an abundant natural hilly environment and occupies more people in total than Israel, Switzerland, Hong Kong, etc. In this report, we look closely at the impact of COVID-19 on both high land/ hilly and low land/ plain bhabar zones across the state. The data was retrieved from the Uttarakhand Government Covid-19 health bulletin for 12 months using the Python command line. The data analysis covers percentage positivity/COVID-19 positivity rate, recovery, deceased and doubling rate, along with a detailed statistical analysis. In the first wave, low-land- inhabitants residing in 4 districts, Dehradun, Haridwar, U. S. Nagar and Nainital, were found more vulnerable, with a peak positive case during the 21st – 26th week. On the other hand, the districts with exclusive hilly terrains, including Chamoli, Pauri Garhwal, and Rudraprayag, were found to be the least susceptible and reported a high number of positive cases between the 30th and 31st week. The highest recovery rate was found to be in the hilly district of Rudraprayag. The multiple regression with confirmed cases was explained in relation to deceased, recovered, other, and tested variables (R2 adj= 0.99). The analysis also revealed a very high doubling rate from the last week of May to the first week of Jun 2020. The reduced number of COVID-19 cases in high-altitude hilly districts may be associated with factors such as enhanced ventilation, improved arterial oxygen transport, and increased tissue oxygenation. The findings from this study offer insights that can contribute to future pandemic prevention efforts. Summarising the current study, we have suggested 5-point solutions for preventing the next pandemic. It's important to note that while this study suggests a potential link between these factors and lower COVID-19 cases, further research is needed to establish a conclusive connection.","PeriodicalId":10815,"journal":{"name":"Coronaviruses","volume":"52 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, other viruses like HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)/AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), Zika, Ebola, and Influenza and their mutants have called for an urgent need for a Broad-spectrum antiviral drug, inhibiting the infection by targeting the common essential components of different viruses. Based on ancient medicinal knowledge, we made an attempt through molecular docking analysis to explore different phytochemical compounds against well-recognized viral receptors. A total of 29 phytochemicals were virtually examined against 4 targets essential in the life cycle of viral infection: CD147 (Cluster of Differentiation 147), CD209L (Cluster of Differentiation 209 Lectin), eIF4A (Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 4A), and RdRp (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase). Providentially, Berbamine was identified as the best-hit lead molecule based on binding energies, conventional hydrogen bonding numbers, and non-covalent interactions. It exhibited binding energies as -8.3 kcal/mol with CD147, -8.2 kcal/mol with CD209L, -9.5 kcal/mol with eIF4A, and - 10.5 kcal/mol with RdRp. Additionally, in-silico drug likeliness (Lipinski’s rule) and ADME studies depict high bioavailability and gastrointestinal absorption and follow Lipinski’s rule. The data presented by our study exemplify phytochemicals from the selected plants that could target conserved viral components shared across multiple viruses. Berbamine can be designed as a possible drug to target Broad-Spectrum viruses, limiting the effectiveness of different viruses.","PeriodicalId":10815,"journal":{"name":"Coronaviruses","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139268463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"COVID-19 Pandemic and its Economic Impact on the Global Economy: A Computable General Equilibrium Approach","authors":"Esambe Sone, Jong-Hwan Ko","doi":"10.2174/0126667975269693231107072320","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2174/0126667975269693231107072320","url":null,"abstract":"The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV- 2, has been a global health crisis since its emergence in late 2019, impacting all aspects of life worldwide. It has revealed vulnerabilities in healthcare systems while also inspiring scientific advancements and cooperation in developing vaccines, highlighting the importance of preparedness and equitable healthcare for future challenges. This paper evaluates the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. The study employed the Global Trade Analysis Project model using GTAP database version 10A with 2014 as the base year. The database's 141 regions and 65 sectors are aggregated into 20 regions and 29 sectors. The model used involves a baseline and two policy scenarios. The baseline scenario projected the global economy to 2020 from 2014 using macroeconomic variables, such as real GDP, population, capital stock, and labor supply. Policy scenarios 1 and 2 accounted for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and fiscal stimulus package, respectively. The impacts of the pandemic are measured in real GDP, welfare, export and import volumes, trade balance, and output by sector. Simulation results indicate that the real GDP for all regions declined. The impact of COVID-19 on the welfare of countries, including Korea, Japan, the US, Mexico, China, Italy, and Great Britain, varied. In all these countries, the pandemic highlighted existing inequalities and vulnerabilities, affecting countries disproportionately. Government interventions, such as stimulus packages, income support programs, and vaccination campaigns, have aimed to mitigate the impact and support the welfare of the population. The pandemic disrupted global supply chains and increased trade costs, thereby negatively impacting both import and export volumes. The output of some sectors, such as tourism-related sectors, was heavily affected. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted real GDP, welfare, export and import volumes, trade balance, and output by sector. By examining the specific implications of the pandemic on each of these economic factors, policymakers and researchers can gain valuable insights into the challenges faced and potential avenues for recovery.","PeriodicalId":10815,"journal":{"name":"Coronaviruses","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139276163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
