This Monograph is a reflection of the immense work the respiratory and wider medical community has achieved in this ever-evolving area. It aims to give the reader a comprehensive understanding of the virus itself, its pathological consequences, current best clinical practice, and the potential long-term consequences not only for the patient but for society as a whole, concluding with strategies to combat the virus.The first section of the Monograph explores the history of coronavirus [1], the virus itself [2], its effects upon the immune system [3] and the pathological consequences of infection [4]. Coronaviruses are a common cause of upper respiratory tract infections, particularly in children. Historically though, it was not until 2002 (with SARS-CoV-1) and again in 2012 (with MERS) that the virus developed severe and potentially lethal capabilities. The COVID-19 virus is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Both the innate and adaptive immune system are affected by the virus, but it is an impaired host immune response that is

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
