Abstract

The world has witnessed a pandemic in the recent past. COVID-19 has been a nightmare for all. The virus SARS-CoV-2 causes the disease. The impact of the pandemic on human life and on various aspects of the society is still prevailing. No specific effective drug has yet been formulated to completely combat the virus. It took more than a year for the researchers and scientists around the globe to understand the mechanism of the virus infection. For the time being vaccines have been designed and those seems to be effective in preventing the infection to some extent. The pattern of infection by SARS-CoV-2, symptoms, pathophysiology, complications and fatality associated with COVID-19 has been found to be dependent on various factors and varies from person to person. The virus has been found to have differential mechanism of infection and impacts in male and female. The X-Chromosome plays an interesting role.
