Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is still continuing. Current major variants of SARS-CoV-2 (Delta and Omicron) have lead to new uncertainties. Since the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and its major variants has been a high risk factor of cardiovascular health due to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACCE) and outcomes. Thus, the more coverage of vaccination, enough health workers, and related medical resources as well as the “ISISI” barriers from locals or regions to the globe play a critical role in combating COVID-19 and protection of human cardiovascular health.

Tracing the origin: From unknown to unknown
In both locals or regions and the globe, coronavirus (SARS-COV-2 and its variants) does not stop to spread and the number of COVID-19 cases is still climbing. So far (February 12, 2022), there are more than 402.044 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 5.77 million deaths in the globe. Hence, it is a very important and meaningful work since tracing the origin of coronavirus can help us to control the pandemic and ultimately combat COVID-19. But we should follow the principle of “objective, rational and evidence-based”. After the global COVID-19 is under control, tracing the origin of SARS-COV-2 and related lessons will help to better control and prevent the outbreak in the future.
Currently, no matter where SARS-CoV-2 and its variants originated, our common goal during the pandemic is to completely combat and control COVID-19. Those endless arguments and doubts are meaningless. “Since bad things have happened, mankind should work together to control the adverse consequences.” It can be said that whoever controls the pandemic is the winner. So far, tracing the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is still from unknown to unknown. Moreover, there are its major variants, such as wild-type (D614), Beta, Delta, and Omicron (1, 2). Therefore, we should prefer to believe that “COVID-19 is a global scourge of aliens”. This good will is to reunite the countries worldwide, avoid confrontation and division, and combat finally the pandemic together.
