CORONAVIRUS

      Corona

The biggest C word that has caused a deadly pandemic and has affected everyone globally. Since this pandemic is already negative and it is hard to focus on the positive side, I thought of writing good side that the pandemic has caused. For example, the mother earth is healing, online teaching has been boosted,etc. Although there is a lot of darkness with this topic, I wrote about its sunny side.

Covering the mouth when sneezing can help stop the spread of coronaviruses.

Researchers first identified a coronavirus in 1937, isolating one that was responsible for a type of bronchitis in birds that had the potential to devastate poultry stocks.

Scientists found evidence of human coronaviruses in the 1960s, in the noses of people with the common cold.

Human coronaviruses that are particularly prevalent include 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1.

The name “coronavirus” comes from the crown-like projections on their surfaces. “Corona” in Latin means “halo” or “crown.”

Among humans, coronavirus infections most often occur during the winter months and early spring.
