One of the theoretical challenges facing scholars is to develop an accepted definition of white-collar crime. Ever since Sutherland (1939) coined the term “white-collar crime,” there has been extensive research and debate on what to include and what to exclude from this offense category (e.g., Piquero and Benson 2004; Pontell et al. 2014; Stadler et al. 2013). The typical profile of a white-collar criminal includes the following attributes: the person has high social status and considerable influence, enjoying respect and trust, and belongs to the elite in society; the elite have generally more knowledge, money and prestige, and occupy higher positions than other individuals in the population occupy; privileges and authority held by the elite are often not visible or transparent, but known to everybody; and the person exploits his or her position to commit financial crime.

As this is viral pneumonia, antibiotics are of no use. The antiviral drugs we have against flu will not work. Recovery depends on the strength of the immune system. Many of those who have died were already in poor health. Thus far, the mortality rate us 6%, and 100% of the people who died from it are elderly and already have a poor immune system. You are of much higher risk of death if you have Cardiovascular Disorder.

The reason it is classified as an epidemic is because it has escaped the control of officials and government. So far, the Coronavirus has infected over 100,000 people and has killed over 4,000. The world has encountered too many cases in too many countries for organisations such as the WHO (World Health Organisation) to keep track of. Some of the recorded cases have been in, but not limited to, Australia, China, the USA, Italy, Iran and Japan.
What Are Some of The Strategies Put in Place by China, And How Effective Are They?
China has advised that people do not travel to and from South Korea, Iran, any of China, Japan, Italy and Mongolia. In terms of safety measures, China has stated that people should, at this point, continue to take normal safety measures such as washing your hands often with soap and water and staying a distance away from people who may be infected, making sure that everyone uses a tissue or covers their mouth when they sneeze, and to avoid contact with any sick people, whether or not you believe they may be infected with the virus.
