What is Coronavirus

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new type of infectious coronavirus that is caused by SARS-CoV-2 which is Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 discovered in 2019, in Wuhan China. COVID-19 causes mild to severe respiratory illness, persons most susceptible to the virus are those over the age of 60 and those with underlying medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer.

This virus has been around for more than a year and has affected how we live, COVID-19 has become part of the new norm, we can’t go the places we once frequented, our favourite shops are locked, we haven't seen friends and loved ones in so long, school is done online and so many persons are sick and dying. Yet talking about this new norm has somehow become a controversial topic and is riddled with conspiracies.

COVID-19 is :

1. a way of government
2. aliens
3. the death count is fake
4. COVID-19 is a hoax
