Currently, pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the biggest threat to
all human beings globally. Till June 8, 2020, it has infected 6,931,000 people
and caused 400,857 deaths worldwide. The first case was identified in a patient
with influenza-like symptoms along with severe acute respiratory syndrome in
Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and now it has spread in more than 200 countries.
Since there is no approved cure for this disease until now, there is a lot of
mass fear, apprehensions, and questions globally regarding (i) genetic origin and
history of the novel coronavirus, (ii) what are the first-line therapies for
those who contract this disease, and (iii) what could be the potential vaccine
targets. In this short review, we have tried to address these queries in the
simplest manner and compiled the history of previous coronaviruses, recent
developments in the COVID-19 research, potential future therapeutics, and
possible targets to cure the disease.
