The outbreak of Covid-19 has flipped the world upside down in a matter of weeks. Walking outside without a worry in the world, and now I have to be worried about every doorknob I touch. The impact of the virus has caused economies to lose years of economic growth in a matter of weeks. Today there are 776,105 confirmed cases, with 37,126 deaths and there are roughly 7.8 billion people living on this earth. This means that .0000995% of the world's population has confirmed they have the coronavirus, and only 4.8% of those people have died. Less than one percent of the population of the entire world has been infected. Though this is a serious matter, because family members can be affected and potentially die due to the lack of treatment options. It isn't something the news should be hyping up as much as they have, however, catastrophic tones have been instilling fear into everyone. The reality of the situation isn't as diar as it is being portrayed. It is important to take the precautions necessary to keep your loved ones safe. Though it may not affect you, it can still affect them.
