Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. Some cause illness in people, and others, such as canine and feline coronaviruses, only infect animals. Rarely, animal coronaviruses that infect animals have emerged to infect people and can spread between people. This is suspected to have occurred for the virus that causes COVID-19. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) are two other examples of coronaviruses that originated from animals and then spread to people.

Pandemic
A pandemic is a disease epidemic that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents, or worldwide. A widespread endemic disease with a stable number of infected people is not a pandemic. Further, flu pandemics generally exclude recurrences of seasonal flu. The worldwide coronavirus outbreak has officially been declared a pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced March 11 during a media briefing. According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, the decision to classify COVID-19 as a pandemic was not easy but resulted from concern for "the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction."

My thoughts on the Coronavirus
My Own Thoughts
The coronavirus is a pain in the butt because when customers enter the supermarkets, the only thing they see is empty isles in the items they need, it just makes me feel so sorry for those people who need some certain items they need for their families and knowing that they need to retreat to other supermarkets to search for the items they need. It also makes me upset that the stock market is running very low, people are rushing because of a extremely contagious bacteria that was first found in seafood and poultry of the chinese. Its impacted my life by seeing people stay at their homes, waiting for the virus to be wiped from existence and if they need to leave their homes, they need to be extra careful by wearing uncomfortable masks to prevent the virus from spreading everywhere. Its also impacted the safety of everyone’s health by sanitizing every hour. Its also impacted the world by knowing the virus is spreading slowly with no cure for the coronavirus, everyone is getting worried if there is a cure and if their families are gonna get infected.
