Coronavirus is a group virus; the one we’re dealing with is SARS-CoV-2; that impacts differently on each person depending on their immune system and health. The pandemic outbreak originated from Wuhan China in 2019 and now it’s a global threat to the world. When it was publicly announced in late 2019 many government leaders took it lightly. Until this early, February, the world leaders reacted some faster than others. Now, this virus/s targets the respiratory system of an individual; making its main victim people who are dealing with health problems. Remember, even if you're healthy doesn't mean you won't get it; but you could possibly spread it to vulnerable beings. This disease is not as dangerous as the media informs us; which is making many people stress out, more then they need to be. Don't get me wrong, COVID-19 could and can kill but remember there are people recovering from the disease after being tested positive. This disease will go down on history because of the impact it already did and will continue to do if we don’t continue to practice self-care and social distance; we all have been informed to practice. The best way I can describe this disease is toxic in the air; you can get it but being precautions and not being exposed to the source for a certain period; that can be the difference between life and death. Social distance, being top of your hygiene and not touching your face (mouth, nose, or eyes.) by far is said to be the best options. As we know, ascorbic acid also known as vitamin C provides our immune system to strength; so, that's also an option that people can use to try. This disease is careless; so let's beat it by being careful!
