Covid-19, coronavirus, is a virus that started spreading in China late 2019. The virus spreads very fast, and made it to the US in about 3 months. The whole world is lock down because of how contagious this virus actually is. All the schools have been cancelled and everyone is going insane at home. Oh also, everybody bought all of the damn toilet paper.
The planetary equivalent of someone who suffered a heart attack that nearly killed them—which often arises due to zero exercise, unhealthy diet, or high-stress lifestyle—because earthlings made bad choices like deforesting and polluting the earth, ignoring the poor and the marginalized, and overspending on the military but underspending on health care systems.
COVID-19 exposes how fragile global supply chains are, how under-funded health or medical systems worldwide are, and how vulnerable the poor and marginalized in both developed and developing countries are.
The disease caused by the virus called SARS-CoV-2. It has infected and killed so many people the population dropped down. This is why we have to try our best to wear mask, physical distance, sneeze or cough in to your elbow or tissue, and wash your handsfrequently. It is certainly a test which we have to pass.
Claire: My brother died from COVID-19.
Doctor Jake: Daniel is dying too from the disease.
Daniel: Goodbye, cruel world!
