    Here is my research on the Covid-19 and a small picture (made on phone so not beautiful 😅 )

    Louka, Corsica

    You have been sick with a coronavirus before.
    There are two types of viruses, rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. So if you have ever been sick, its isuery likely that you have caught another type of coronaviruses. The new type of coronavirus that emerged is called COVID-19 (the 19 coronavirus).
    Even if it not a dangerous virus, between 1% and 2% mortality rate.
    For protect yourself wash your hands, and don't pick your nose and your face. For protect other stay at home if your are sick.

    COVID-19 or Coronavirus is the name of a virus that infects before it is buried.
    4 million infected on Earth. Many people are victims of a potentially deadly virus.
    He is responsible for 315,000 deaths this year.
    Almost the entire Earth is in quarantine to calm the virus and relieve intensive care in hospitals.
    However, it is rather simple to protect yourself against the virus.
    We have to wash our hands very regularly with soap for about 20 sec.
    Have a minimum distance of 1m50 between each person.
    And wearing a mask has become compulsory in public places.

    The name of the new virus is coronavirus or COVID-19. But in fact, you have been sick by corona virus because the most part of the disease(sore throat, cough...) is caused by types of viruses. The most part of them are rhinoviruses or coronaviruses. The Covid is a coronavirus. But in reality, the Covid is not very dangerous but the problem is that it's very contagious and most people who get the Covid will be fine. So, for stop the pandemic, do the barrier gestures: washing hands, sneeze in a tissue, cough in your elbow, keep a distance to 1,5m with persons and don't touch your face because the virus can survive on surfaces and stay home if you have coronavirus symptoms. Now, more than 5M persons are infected and 339thousand are dead. Source: gouvernement.fr, youtube, twinspace.
