A common factor behind the deaths recorded in china was smoking, those who with already damaged lungs are more likely to succumb to pneumonia. According to WHO, Italy has been hit so badly, because of the age of its population.

This virus mutates relatively little, once a month on average, so there\u2019s no point in sequencing small pieces of the genome. on February 29, the researchers isolated the sequence of whole genome of the corona virus from the second Brazilian patient diagnosed with COVID-19. Completed only 24 hours after confirmation of the case in Brazil, the study shows that there are differences between the genomes of the viruses isolated from the first and second patients. \u201cThe second genomic sequence of Brazilian is more similar to the genome sequenced in the United Kingdom, and it both differ from the Chinese sequences.
