Is Coronavirus As Dangerous As It Sounds?

Is Coronavirus As Dangerous As It Sounds? The World Health Organization has declared that coronavirus is a global health emergency. "Coronavirus" refers to a large group of viruses that range from mild to severe. The most common reported symptoms of this strain include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, according to the CDC. Some infected people have shown no visible symptoms, while others have become severely ill. It's too early to know exactly how contagious or how deadly this strain is. There's currently no vaccine nor are there specific treatments for it. But, the flu is still the most "deadly" illness to worry about right now. And, protecting yourself from coronavirus looks the same as protecting yourself from the flu: Get the flu shot; avoid people who are sick; wash your hands often; and try not to touch your eyes, mouth, and nose. Additionally, respect the CDC's travel restrictions until further notice.
