As time is passing, we are slowly learning more and more about the coronavirus. Information and reports about the virus could be found everywhere from news reports, social media pages, to podcasts. Coronavirus also known as COVID-19, is thought to spread from person to person contact. According to the CDC, the virus is thought to be most contagious when someone is symptomatic. Since the first report of the virus, there has been 19 states that have reported cases. Currently, Italy has the highest number of confirmed cases outside of China. Due to lack of knowledge, the CDC is requesting that everyone takes precautions and maintain healthy hygiene when traveling. For example, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects, avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth and lastly washing your hands for 20 seconds. Based on current information, the coronavirus has the potential to wipe out a lot of people so it is important to take precaution and be aware.
I think it's so crazy that so many people are panicking about the Corona virus. No one panics about the flu and way more people have died from it!
ReplyDeleteI feel as though the media has made the situation look worse than it is. It is also crazy to think how people are reacting to the situation. They are buying all the toilet paper and stock piling on groceries. I think most people do not realize they just need to practice good hygiene and stay home when they are sick like you said.
