COVID-19

A highly infectious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-Coronavirus 2 virus, a zoological pathogen that is believed to have originated in Wuhan China. COVID-19 is the cause of the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, a global emergency that has had worldwide effects. The virus has caused particular outrage in the United States with it being the leading nation in confirmed cases of the virus, primarily caused by wild mismanagement of the outbreak by one Donald Trump. Since the outbreak has started, many countries have gone on lockdown and have put in place measures to try and mitigate the spread of the virus. Such measures include posting CDC guidelines to encourage public safety, a limit on the number of people that can be in a building at once, and even mandates on masks/respirators which can provide protection against the virus. So far, the virus has killed hundreds of thousands of people worldwide and has wreaked economic havoc. It is unclear how long this pandemic will last, it may continue to deal with devastating tolls on everyone for the next year. Until then, we can only do our best to keep each other safe by following public health safety guidelines like wearing a mask and distancing yourself from other people until most likely a vaccine is developed. Stay safe, and thank you.

COVID-19 has caused mass suffering and sadness and is in fact much more dangerous than a general strain of Influenza.
