The Dangers Of Covid-19

Corona virus is a group of viruses that can cause disease in animals or humans.
Several types of coronavirus are known to cause respiratory tract infections in
humans ranging from cold coughs to more serious ones such as Middle East
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The newly discovered coronavirus causes the disease Covid-19. I think we should
be aware of the Covid-19 virus and follow applicable health protocols.

First of all, I would like to point out that Covid-19 is indeed dangerous and can
cause shortness of breath even to death. Globally, approximately 170,000
confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the 2019
novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) have been reported, including an estimated
7,000 deaths in approximately 150 countries On March 11, 2020, the World
Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Data from
China have indicated that older adults, particularly those with serious underlying
health conditions, are at higher risk for severe COVID-19–associated illness and
death than are younger Persons. Although the majority of reported COVID-
19 cases in China were mild (81%), approximately 80% of deaths occurred
among adults aged ≥60 years; only one (0.1%) death occurred in a person
aged ≤19 years.
Furthermore, reported by Kompas.com, the CDC also noted that the corona virus
can spread through droplets and particles in the air that are formed when people
with Covid-19 cough, sneeze, sing, talk, or breathe.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that the Covid-19 virus cannot
disappear in a short time and is a problem around the world.Therefore, the new
normal life order needs to be implemented by society.

In conclusion, from argument above, I strongly belive that we should be aware of

covid-19 keep a mask on, and follow proper health protocols.
