[Disclaimer: This article is just for general discussion on Corona and viruses. If any student reach here by any way s/he might got some study or research points from where s/he can go further. No idea should be taken as expert advise. In case of infection or suspicion go to nearest HOSPITAL or Health Centre. And consult your Doctor.(if s/he helps)(because some hospitals are denying normal patients for other ailments then covid-19, this is bigger problem)]
this article will be updated with more relevant information and correction.
Virus; this term is notorious and ferocious due to computer viruses. But the interesting fact is computer virus has got its name from human pathogenic viruses and their modus operandi. Viruses have their own branch of study called Virology.
The below information is copied from wikipedia, where you can find a great deal of information. I used this section of structure just to understand and explain the interesting thing regarding it.
Structure
A simplified diagram of the structure of a virus
A virus particle, also known as a virion, consists of genes made from DNA or RNA which are surrounded by a protective coat of protein called a capsid.[21] The capsid is made of many smaller, identical protein molecules which are called capsomers. The arrangement of the capsomers can either be icosahedral (20-sided), helical or more complex. There is an inner shell around the DNA or RNA called the nucleocapsid, which is formed by proteins. Some viruses are surrounded by a bubble of lipid (fat) called an envelope.

The outer cover which is made up of lipids many times, that is destructible by soap and in this way the virus body or structure breaks and thus unable to bring the pathos to human with severity.
Things to remember, when we clean any surface with soap solution and some Phenyl the bacteria and other microbs also destroyed which may carry viruses.
Virus mutates very fast therefore in India it will spread fast as people here spit anywhere with their DNA in them so the virus can mutated with great variety. So medical and scientific solutions are really take time to get an answer to solve the problem.

"Pathologist found blood clots in 'almost every organ' during autopsies on Covid-19 patients"
Where they quote Dr. Amy Rapkiewicz, the chairman of the department of pathology at NYU Langone Medical Center, spoke to Erin Burnett on OutFront Thursday night.
She said-
"What we saw at autopsy was sort of an extension of that,"
"The clotting was not only in the large vessels but also in the smaller vessels.
"And this was dramatic, because though we might have expected it in the lungs, we found it in almost every organ that we looked at in our autopsy study,"
"We found them in the heart and the kidneys and the liver and other organs," she said. "Notably in the heart, megakaryocytes produce something called platelets that are intimately involved in blood clotting."
"The clotting was not only in the large vessels but also in the smaller vessels.

Here for my interest of point in megakaryocytes. A megakaryocyte (mega+ karyo+cyte=large-nucleus-cell") is a large bone marrow cell with a lobated nucleus responsible for the production of blood thrombocytes (platelets), which are necessary for normal blood clotting.
If you really want to know the current status and the details of COVID-19 then you have to go to WHO site. don't believe on rumours they won't help you. In India from goumutra (cow pee) to garlic so many cures these rumours are providing that the virus itself can confuse what I am for.
