current treatment includes care to support vital organ functions. As of the 2020

Severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, is a potentially deadly

illness that quickly spread around the world in 2003. It’s a viral infection that

causes flu-like symptoms. SARS first sprang to the world’s attention in early 2003,

when more than 8,000 people got sick in an outbreak that spread to 26 countries.

Nearly 800 people died. Doctors and scientists tracked the disease to southeastern

China, near Hong Kong. From there, travelers soon carried SARS to other countries

in Asia, such as Vietnam and Singapore, as well as Europe and Canada. SARS is

caused by a virus that takes over your body’s cells and uses them to make copies

You can lower your chances of getting it in the first place with some simple steps.

To prevent the virus from spreading, we should refrain from meeting people as

much as possible and wear masks. Personal hygiene is also an important defense

tool.

Pandemic is a term of a phenomenon that is occurring over a wide geographic

area and affecting an exceptionally high proportion of the population. Pandemics

have started to become a huge issue in our lives since 2003. As civilization gets

more prosperous, more people will travel around the world. This will lead to viruses

being spread easily. Therefore, the pandemic is closely related to the world, so

there are no doubts to end civilization by the pandemic.

When pandemic outbreaks, most of the countries are affected negatively because

viruses considerably correlated with our lives, such as the economy, health, lifestyle,

and so on. Most of the places which are related to the economy such as the market
