How dangerous is the Coronavirus?


The outbreak of the Coronavirus gained popularity in Jan of 2020 starting in China and now as of March 5 it has claimed thousands of people all over the world. But tends to afflict those above the age of 60 or people with weakened immune systems.The number of people infected in the U.S. jumped from 65 to 89 on Feb 28 through March 2nd. There were also a total of two deaths confirmed.The Virus originated in China and have claimed more than 3,000 people so far according to BBC News. The virus has the potential to become a pandemic and the daily confirmed cases are at more than 1,000 people. Some governments have stopped transportation to the nations with the virus and are urging people to stay away from heavily populated areas. At least eight states have issued states of emergency Washington, Florida California Kentucky New York, Maryland, Utah and Oregon. Schools all over have started to shut down or close for a few weeks to clean the school. This action has put stress on parents as they are dependent on their children getting lunches and being watched till they can get off of work. Now they have to either take off or find someone to watch them. This also makes the struggle of grades and teaching the students harder when they become behind if they are not accessible to the internet at their homes they can not do classes online or complete their work.
