Today I will be talking about the virus that affected millions of people’s lives , the coronavirus also known as Covid-19. A quick note on naming. Although popularly referred to as coronavirus, on February 11, the WHO announced the official name of the disease: Covid-19. Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are known to infect both humans and animals, and in humans cause respiratory illness that range from common colds to much more serious infections.On March 11 the WHO officially declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic. "WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction," said its director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.With significant outbreaks in the US, Brazil and Russia and 37,048 deaths in the UK. I am 100% sure you have all heard about the virus that has been spreading word-se for approximately 7 months now. The Coronavirus is a virus that is similar to the influenza and swine flu.This virus has affected many different countries including Brazil,Sweden,Australia, etc. Some of the countries with the most cases are the United States,Brazil,Russia,Spain,and the United Kingdom. The virus has infected a total of 7,056,883 confirmed cases of the coronavirus ,and a death toll of 403,811 deaths and only 3,447,416 recoveries. According to who.int “The first human cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, subsequently named SARS-CoV-2 were first reported by officials in Wuhan City, China, in December 2019. Retrospective investigations by Chinese authorities have identified human cases with onset of symptoms in early December 2019. While some of the earliest known cases had a link to a wholesale food market in Wuhan, some did not. Many of the initial patients were either stall owners, market employees, or regular visitors to this market. Environmental samples taken from this market in December 2019 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, further suggesting that the market in Wuhan City was the source of this outbreak or played a role in the initial amplification of the outbreak. The market was closed on 1 January 2020.” After that China didn’t do much until the virus was declared an outbreak. According to businessinsider.com “In China, where the novel coronavirus originated last year, cases of COVID-19 have steadily declined since peaking in mid-February, and are now zeroing out, thanks to the extreme measures China took to contain the virus.”. But China did everything they could to make it stop and their plan succeeded. The Coronaviruses affected China by not letting them get out, order food, or even grocery shop because everything was sold out in the stores. Over all we must keep ourselves safe and stay home and ONLY GO OUT IF ITS URGENT!!!! Try to enjoy quarantine because I know we all hate it 🙄,but try and make the most of it. STAY SAFE EVERYONEEEEEEE WE WILL GET THROUGH IT ALL TOGETHER INSHALLAHHHH.😷🙃✌🏽🙌🏼😁😊🥰🤗🥺👋🏻👋🏻.

Question: How did Russia do in the first world war? (July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918).

World war 1 was a disaster. Russia entered into World War I on July 28, 1914, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Russia's ally Serbia.

On 1 August, Germany declared war on Russia, followed by Austria-Hungary on 6th. Russia and the Entente declared war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, after Ottoman warships bombarded the Black Sea port of Odessa in late October.

The immediate cause for World War 1 was the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his pregnant wife Sophie. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was the nephew of Emperor Franz Josef and heir to the throne of Austria and Hungary. The assassination was planned by a Serbian terrorist group, called The Black Hand and the man who shot Franz Ferdinand and his wife was a Bosnian revolutionary named Gavrilo Princip.

Before WW1 was triggered, a number of deffence alliances existed between the major European countries. What this meant was that if one country declared war on another, the other countries would also have to enter the conflict because it was in the treaty they agreed.

On 8th February, 1904, the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on the Russian fleet at Port Arthur, therefore beginning the Russo-Japanese War. The Russian Navy fought two major battles to try and relieve Port Arthur but the Russians were defeated and were forced to withdraw. In May, 1905, the Russian Navy was attacked at Tsushima. Twenty Russian ships were sunk and another five were captured. Only four Russian ships managed to reach safety at Vladivostok.

The Russian Ministry of War was commanded by General Sukhomlinov. Though Tsar Nicholas wished to lead the Russian Army into battle personally, he was persuaded otherwise and instead named his uncle, the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, Commander in Chief.

The Allies (mainly Britain, France, US) won WW1 which happened from 1914-1919. Germany was the main loser, along with Austria - Hungary, The Ottoman Empire, and the other Central Powers and also Russia, although Russia withdrew from the war early due to civil war issues at home.

On March 3, 1918, in the city of Brest-Litovsk, located in modern-day Belarus near the Polish border, Russia signed a treaty with the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria) ending its participation in World War I (1914-18)

The impact of WWII in Russia Blog

- By: Malak Amer 

Russia is a country located between Europe and Asia. The Soviet Union was made up of 15 independent unions and one of them was Russia. The reason Russia fought in World War II was because on June 22, 1941, Germany invaded Russia, thereby putting Russia in world War II. Germany broke the non-aggression treary that was between both countries. Russia’s soldiers gave up their lives to fight. Women were allowed to fight, nearly one million women fought in WWII. This war affected people in Russia a lot because all the soldiers from Russia that died might have been family members to some people. In terms of total numbers, the Soviet Union bore an incredible brunt of victims during WWII. An estimated 22.6 million Sovient people died during the war, over two thirds of those were civilians. The country lost around 15% of its population. The pain of World War II is passed on to children. Sovient children were emotionally damaged during the war. Normal daily routines like going to work or to school were largely suspended because the entire country concentrated on fighting the enemy and simply trying to stay alive. World War II left the Soviet Union, especially its western regions, in a catastrophic state of ruin.WWII had a significant impact on the Soviet Union's Economy. The Soviets lost more than 17,000 towns, 70,000 villages, and 32,000 factories due to the war. The lack of men, functioning machinery, livestock, and limited harvest led to food shortages during the war and also years after. Shortage of food became a real problem as entire cities were surrounded by the German army and cut off from food supplies. Agricultural sites were bombed and crops destroyed. Most of the food that was being sent to the front lines to Soviet soldiers. The main roads had been bombed, so shipping food from the villages to the cities was an extreme problem. When the war ended and the soldiers who survived returned home, the Soviet economy rapidly returned to growth after five years. One element in the success of this post-war ‘five-year rebuilding plan’ was fast. There were between 10 and 11 million Soviet men returning from the front to help rebuild their country. The military-industrial complex remained a significant factor in the post-war Soviet Union. Developed the atomic bomb, followed four years later by a successful hydrogen bomb test. Then came the Soviet space programme. Finally, the Second World War was the bloodiest conflict in human history. The reward for Soviet sacrifice during what is known in Russian as the “Great Patriotic War”. Now Russia is in one of just two arches of global affairs in a new world order.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE LONG LEBANESE WAR ON THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE??? By Zeina seada 

Lebanon is an Asian country located in the western portion of the continent Asia. Lebanon has been facing many problems in many ways. For example, Economically, Socially, and Politically. Lebanon actually had many wars that included wars like the first arab israili war that lasted from 1948-1949 (1 year), the 1958 lebanon crisis which only lasted for 1 year, the lebanese civil war 1975-1990 (15 years), and many more wars and revolutions that lead up to the latest which is the syrian civil war spillover in lebanon and that is the latest war that started in 2011 and ended in 2017. All of these wars in total are 8 wars and they all have caused great pain and sorrow because they still until today live in a revolution or a war and that must have them feeling unsafe and uncomfortable in their living. First, how does the war affect Lebanon economically? Well for a start all the problems started since the end of the 1990 war since then the countries people started to make economic decisions that changed the lebanese economics until today. Now back to my main question. The lebanese economy's GDP was estimated at $54.1 billions in 2018, with a per capita GDP amounting to $12,000. Government spending amounted to $15.9 billion in 2018, or 23% of GDP. The Lebanese economy significantly expanded after the war of 2006, with growth averaging 9.1% between 2007 and 2010. (Capita meaning: per person). (GDP meaning: Gross domestic product). To be honest, economics doesn't really go for everyone. In my opinion Lebanon's economy is not good but some people get some more income that makes them live in a better way. The second question is how did the war or revolution affect Lebanon socially? The lebanese society is not really painful like the other things in lebanon like economics or politics. The lebanese society kind of matches the European society it is only linked with the same ideas and for some people even the ways of living. The society in Lebanon is not really affected by the wars but also they take good care while living their social life outside in public. Any way it is still affected socially that they are not like any people that they are not really comfortable while living their social life. The third and last question… How did the Long war affect Lebanon and its people politically? The politics of Lebanon is an unsteady type of politics. It is having great problems and issues at the moment because of the war, revolution, and harm, but now these problems have been increasing since the COVID19 virus has spread and appeared. Now Lebanon can list 1,256 confirmed cases which means that they are not really struggling with the virus. So I think that the politics are rough because they are facing hard times in their wars and many people are being harmed by that. That’s why Lebanon is harmed politically, because the politicians are still not understanding how they can make it better. Thank you !

japan has a very unique history.The first people who settled in japan were from Asia and they became the first Japanese. They settled about thirty five thousand years ago. Ancient Japan was the first period, it was during the ice age at that time and there was a land bridge which connected the main land with japan. At that time Japanese learned to hunt animals and gather food .By 10,000 BC the land bridge that connected the main land with japan melted because it was made out of ice. At about 8,000BC Japanese learned to make pottery.  The second period was called the Jomon period.  It lasted from 8,000 BC to 300 BC. The word jomon means cord marked because some Japanese wrapped a cord around their pottery to mark it, these people were called the jomon. The jomon people made tools out of stone, wood, and bone. They also made small figures of people and animals called dogu and that  ends this period. Between 300 BC and 300 AD a new era began in japan. Japanese learn to farm rice. They also learn to make tools made out of bronze and iron. They both are metals which Japanese just discovered in this era. They also learned to weave cloth. That period is called the Yayoi period. It was named after a village called Yayoicho. In this village farming  Meant everything. Yayoi people lived in wooden huts. The next period is called the kofun period. The kofun period was from 300 AD to 710 AD. At that time all Japanese islands united. At that era the rich and powerful men of japan were buried in vast tombs called kofun. clay figures called haniwa were placed around the tombs to guard the tomb.at that time japan was influenced by china. In the year 400AD Chinese taught Japanese to write and make paper.they also learned to create porcelain, silk, and lacquer. They also.   Planned cities the Chinese way. In 552AD Korea sent priests to make japan to buddhism. The native Japanese religion is called Shinto which means the way of the gods.at the 7th century prince Shotoku built the Horyuji Buddhist temple and monastery in 607and it burnt down in 670. The Horyuji Buddhist temple and monastery were rebuilt and became a center of Buddhist learning, And to this day they still stand. They are known for the world's oldest surviving wooden structures. and that wraps up this period.

Vietnam is a really amazing place! I lived there for three years. 

When I lived in Vietnam people wore masks all the time. They were wearing masks because the pollution in Vietnam is really really bad. I wore masks on the motorbike. I think part of why the coronavirus cases are so low there is because people were already wearing masks before the coronavirus.

Anyway this little blog is going to be about how Vietnam has fought the coronavirus. I think Vietnam has fought the coronavirus very well. In some places, like for example Egypt, people are still being able to go outside and go to the mall and stuff. In Vietnam they did an entire lockdown in the entire country. No one was able to go outside.  No one could go anywhere pretty much. In Egypt the coronavirus cases are still going up very rapidly! Yes schools are shut down, but I don’t feel like that’s gonna do anything because kids in my school are still going to each other‘s houses and still going swimming together. For example, on Snapchat I always see kids just playing around and just not really staying inside.  I think if Egypt really wants the coronavirus cases to go down then they have to shut down the entire country completely.

Look at Vietnam now! My friends in Vietnam are going back to school and they’re living normal lives just because they did a lockdown for like a month. Coronavirus was really big in Vietnam when we were just living a normal life in Egypt and now look at it it’s opposite!

I’m not really sure if you’re getting what I’m saying but pretty much let me just recap, for you. I’m saying that I think If Egypt wants fewer coronavirus cases then they should do what Vietnam. Vietnam won the fight with the coronavirus (well I’m not sure maybe the coronavirus will come back but I’m not sure anyway…) I think the reason Vietnam has so little cases is because they did an extreme lockdown. All pools were closed, they couldn’t go to restaurants and it was pretty extreme. People were wearing big facemasks and some were wearing just like the entire outfit and that’s just crazy.

Look at this photo look at that the entire world is going extremely high and Vietnam is just staying at zero! Thailand is going up Japan is going up Malaysia is going up and Korea’s going up. I strongly suggest that the entire world does what Vietnam did!

OK so hopefully I got my point through this blog I hope that you understood it. But yeah what I think is I think the entire world should lock down to result in zero coronavirus cases!

What Makes Chinese Culture Unique? By: Nabila Osman

Chinese culture is VERY unique and this is why. Like other aspects of Chinese life, cuisine is heavily influenced by geography and ethnic diversit. Among the main styles of Chinese cooking are Cantones, which features stir-fried dishes, and Szechuan, which relies heavily on use of peanuts, sesame paste and ginger and is known for its spiciness. Wow, I’m ALREADY staring to get hungry! Rice is not ONLY a major food source in China; it is also a major element that helped grow their societ, according to Pathways to Asian Civilizations, the Chinese world for rice is a fan, which also means “meal”, and it is a staple of their diet, as are bean sprouts, cabbage and scallions. Because they do not consume a lot of meat- occasionally pork or chicken - tofu is a main source of protein for the Chinese. Chinese art is greatly influenced by the country’s rich spiritual and mythical history. Many sculptures and paintings depict spiritual figures of Buddhism. Eastern- style martial arts were also developed in China, and its birthplace of Kung fu. This fighting technique is based on animals movement and was created in the mi-1600s, according to Black Belt Magazine. Recently, archeologists discovered detailed paintings in a 1,400-year old tomb in China. “The murals of this tomb had diversified motifs and rich connotations, many of which cannot be found in other tombs of the same period,” a team of archaeologists wrote in an article recently published in 2017 issue of the journal in Chinese Archaeology. China has invested large amounts of money in science advancements and currently challenges the United States in scientific research. China spent 75 percent of what the United States spent in 2015, according to the journal JCI insight. One recent 2017 development in Chinese scienChe is teleportation. Chinese researchers sent a packet of information from Tibet to a Satellite in orbit, up to 870 miles above the Earths surface, which is a new record for quantum teleportation distance. Another 2017 advancement is the develoment of new bullet trains. Dubbed “fuxing”, which means “rejuvenation,” thewe trains are high-speed transportation systems that run between Beijing and Shanghai. The trains can travel at speeds of up to 350 km (217 mph), making them the worlds fastest trains! The largest festivals- also called the Spring Festival- marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year. It falls between mid-Januar and mid-February and is a time to honor ancestor. During the 15-day celebration, the Chinese do something every day to welcome the new year, such as eat rice congee and mustard greens to cleanse the body, according to the University of Victoria. The holiday is marked with fireworks and parades featuring dancers dressed as dragons. As you can see, Chinese culture is TREMENDOUSLY unique, no comment.

Why do Tourists visit India? By:Taqai Mandour

                                                                                                                          India is a unique destination that's growing in popularity all the time. Here are some reasons why you should visit. India can be very inspiring and relaxing for people. Many people come to India to learn yoga, meditate, or spend time at an ashram. Another moving experience is to take part in an evening aarti along the Ganges river at either Rishikesh, Haridwar, or Varanasi. India is a vast country that's just over one third of the size of the United States. Much of it is rural, and there are some incredible things to be seen and discovered. There are the Himalayas.There are  beaches. There are deserts. And to the east tribal Territory. India is often thought of as a backpacker destination with grotty hotel rooms and dirt everywhere. You can travel as cheaply or as lavishly as you want in India, and that's definitely part of its appeal as a tourist destination. The luxury segment of the market offers some mesmerizing things, such as ​authentic palace hotels. Alternatively, you might prefer a quaint guest house or homestay. Options, such as these budget hotels, abound. These days, even the backpacker hostels are modern, clean, and welcoming. Indians consider it a huge honor to have guests in their home and go out of their way to please them. There's nothing like Indian hospitality. And, as a result of the growing popularity of homestays in India, there are plenty of opportunities to experience it. Many homestays are far from there. India is a place that everyone should visit once in their lives to get out of their comfort zones and get a different perspective on life. The culture shock in India can be hard to deal with. However, you'll quickly come to appreciate what you have back home and how fortunate you really are. It's impossible to leave India the same person as when you arrived. It will change you, for better or worse. Unfortunately, India has received a lot of negative publicity recently in regards to women's safety. Admittedly, India can be an uncomfortable country for foreign female tourists. However, the good news is that some parts of India are much more tourist-friendly than others. In that regard, south India is often said to be better than north India. Tamil Nadu, in particular, is a recommended destination for women.This is why India can be a amazing place to live.

HOW HAS CORONAVIRUS AFFECTED POPULATION IN ITALY ?

Italy now has the highest number of deaths from COVID-19 in the world.

Deaths from the new coronavirus in Italy continue to soar, with the country reporting 919 deaths in a single day on Friday March 27 the biggest single day death toll reported in any country since the start of the outbreak. But why are deaths in Italy so high?

Italy now has the highest number of deaths in the world from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. As of Friday (March 27), the country had reported more than 9,100 deaths, according to worldometer, a website tracking COVID-19 cases

One factor affecting the country's death rate may be the age of its population — Italy has the oldest population in Europe, with about 23% of residents 65 or older, according to The New York Times. The median age in the country is 47.3, compared with 38.3 in the United States, the Times reported.

What's more, older adults appear to make up a greater proportion of cases in Italy, with about 37% of cases ages 70 and older, compared with 12% of cases in China

Italy has conducted a substantial number of tests — more than 134,000 as of March 17

Why did coronavirus hit Italy so hard?

Because it has most to do with how rapid the decline in fertility has been in a population.” That is, it's affected more by Italians having fewer children than it is by them living longer.

Another thing why it hit Italy hard because another issue may be the number of people in a given area who require medical care. Having a lot of severely people in a single region could potentially overwhelm the medical system.

Indeed, although Italy initially conducted extensive testing of both symptomatic and asymptomatic contacts of people with COVID-19, the Italian Ministry of Health issued more stringent testing policies on Feb. 25

Who is most at risk for the coronavirus disease?

People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.

Finally, the country may not be catching many of the mild cases of COVID-19. Often, as testing expands within a community, more mild cases are found, which lowers the overall death rate.

As you can see you should stay home and be safe so nothing happens to you.

The Coronavirus Effects On Spain -Hannah Hassan

Coronavirus: How many lives has it cost us?

There have been over 10,000 Corona cases and lives lost so far in Spain. 146,690 cases in total, only 48,021 saved, meaning there were 14,555 deaths. There are 84,114 current infected patient cases, and 8% are near death. Because of Corona, there have been nearly 900,000 lost jobs. Comparing this to the U.S., they claimed that they saw a record of 6.6 million novelle (new) unemployment benefit claims. According to Johns Hopkins University, the Corona infections are nearing one million. Their tracker has already recorded more than 50,200 deaths around the world.The health ministry in Spain said that 10,003 lives in Spain, including 950 new deaths because of Corona. 102,136 of confirmed cases rose to 110,238.

Welcome to H.M.H. News, and today we are going to be looking at the effects of the world-wide famous and the most globally feared pandemic, the Coronavirus, also known as Covid-19.

The “Social” Issues:

Because of the Corona, unessential businesses have [maybe] temporarily shut down, but shops like pharmacies and grocery stores are still in commission. We are on a global lockdown. When dealing with other people, most everybody wears a mask and/or latex gloves. We try to avoid any contact with people as much as possible. There has been social distancing in all countries, including Spain. Because of this, many to almost all schools have been using e-Learning, and companies are using online meetings with apps such as Zoom and Google Meets. 

Spain’s daily death toll has reached 950, almost to 1,000 people per day. Due to social distancing, people can’t properly have a funeral for them, and they become distressed for not being able to grieve rightfully.

The unemployment for March is the highest monthly jobless rise that has ever been recorded in the country, even though it already has the Eurozone’s highest jobless rates. 898,822 people have lost their jobs from the start of the Coronavirus lockdown outbreak, also including almost 550,000 temporary workers. The official unemployment rate has risen to 3.5 million, which is the highest it has been since April of 2017.

This is what Maíra José Sierra had to say from the Spanish health ministry’s emergency co-ordination unit at a news conference: "We continue with an increase of around 8%. This points, as we have already seen, to a stabilisation in the data that we're registering."

This has been H.M.H. News, signing off.

corona virus in Italy by Alia salem

Pandemics (a disease that has spread across a large area) in history affected the population of a lot of countries around the world. Some examples of them are: the Spanish Flu in 1918 to 1920 Europe, the Plague in 1347 in Europe, the Bird Flu in Hong Kong in 1997, the Swine Flu in 1998 in USA, the Ebola in Africa, the SARS in China, and the Coronavirus. The Coronavirus is related to the SARS because they both cause harm in respiratory organs. The symptoms of Coronavirus are: dry cough, high fever, and trouble breathing.

Things to do to prevent getting the coronavirus are Wash your hands frequently Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands. Maintain social distancing  When someone coughs or sneezes they spray small liquid droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease ,Practice respiratory hygiene  Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene you protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and COVID-19 ,  Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you sick. Stay informed and follow advice given by your healthcare provide rNational and local authorities will have the most up to date information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility. This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other infections.   And wear mask if you are going to the supermarket  

Italy now has the highest number of deaths in the world from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. As of Friday (March 27), the country had reported more than 9,100 deaths, according to worldometer, a website tracking COVID-19 cases. And the country’s fatality rate from COVID-19 — at 10% — is much higher than the global average of 3.4%, according to the World Health Organization.

People maybe asking but how did italy get this bad the reason after that is that people in italy at first the citizens of italy   didn’t care  about the coronavirus   and  how it could heart them and it could cause severe deaths but now italy can’t handle their mistake  now italy has a shrinking population  and barely any people alive.

coronavirus in Italy! by: Maleeka Azzam

right now, there are 135,586 confirmed covid-19 cases in Italy. that is a lot of people! there are 24,392 recoveries in Italy, which is good because they are starting to know how to recover people. but on the other hand there are 17,127 deaths which is crazy because it is #1 on the most deaths caused by the coronavirus in the WORLD!!!!!

this is a map of the coronvirus in Italy and where there is the most people with this serious illness. if you feel like you are having trouble breathing, or coughing then you might wanna check if you have it or not. if its not that bad then just stay at home and take a nap or just rest. all Italians are in quarantine and some people even quit. the coronavirus disease occurs mainly as they cough or sneeze, by interaction with an infected human. Often it spreads when a human approaches a substance or item that has the virus on it and then exposes his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. There is no vaccine when a disease is recent, before one is created. A new vaccine will take a number of years to grow.

Italy now has the highest number of deaths in the world from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. As of Friday (March 27), the country had reported more than 9,100 deaths, according to worldometer, a website tracking COVID-19 cases. And the country's fatality rate from COVID-19 — at 10% — is much higher than the global average of 3.4%, according to the World Health Organization.

People maybe asking but how did italy get this bad the reason after that is that people in italy at first the citizens of italy   didn't care  about the coronavirus   and  how it could heart them and it could cause severe deaths but now italy can't handle their mistake  now italy has a shrinking population  and barely any people alive.

Italy coronavirus-Hafsa Aly

Hi, my name is Hafsa Aly. Today I’m going to be talking about covid-19 in Italy.  Coronavirus is a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronavirus respiratory tract infection that can range from moderate to deadly. The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You can protect yourself by cleaning your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. The most common symptoms are fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. In the next paragraph I’m going to talk. 

The coronavirus is spreading so fast around the world. Italy is suffering from the coronavirus mostly half of the people in the population have the corona, but some are recovered and some aren’t. Usually people that  die are people starting from 50 or 60s but  a very small amount barely survive from the corona if they are this age. There are people out there that may have the corona but they don’t know it because they don’t have symptoms. That is why Italy and every other country’ people should stay at home in case something like this happens.

First of all I want to talk about how the corona virus spread in Italy. The corona virus spread in Italy faster and it became very dangerous because by the time everyone noticed it was too late. When everyone realized, lots of people already had the virus and they kept going out everyday and making more people sick, the problem is they didn’t realize until a long time when lots of people already had the virus. 

The population of Italy is shrinking because everyone is dying and getting the virus. The number of corona cases in Italy is 135,586. The number of people recovered is 24,392. The number of deaths is 17,127. The number of recoveries and deaths seem to be close which is not good because have . a big number of deaths is very bad and that means that there is a bigger percentage for people to die when they get the virus. This is very bad for the population because people are dying and getting sick. In Italy, no one could get out of their house or most probably if they do, they are dead. If people really need to go out to buy food, drinks, etc. They need to make sure they are very safe wearing facemasks, gloves and not touching their faces, etc. In the next paragraph I’m going to talk about how ro prevent yourself from corona especially if you are in countries like Italy. First of all, always have alcohol anywhere you go. You always have to clean the house with some special materials that they talk about and tell us to get in the news. Don’t sneeze or cough anywhere other than tissues or your elbow but if you do that in your elbow you need to put alcohol everywhere that you sneezed and coughed in and on your hand or maybe you can wash them. Don’t go out or let you kids go out except if it is an extreme emergency, for example if you need food or drinks or medicine, etc. When you go out wear a face mask, gloves, and don’t touch your face, also don't interact with anybody or get close to people. Lastly, try the best you can do to be safe.  Always try your best to be safe. I feel so bad to know how much Italy is suffering from corona and how many cases they have. That is why you should always stay home to make sure you are safe. Always wash your hand with soap, if not at least put alcohol on. Always clean everything in the house because the virus stays on surfaces. I think that we can all get through it and help each other but we all need to stay in our house and we need to not meet anybody or interact with people until hpefully this is over. I wish everything goes better and this is over for Italy and world wide. Thank you for taking the time to read my essay.

Corona Virus In Italy

The corona virus is a deadly, harmful, and dangerous virus. So basically the corona virus is a deadly virus that can kill you. And before you start thinking hey if I get it I won’t go to school you should know that this virus attack’s your lungs and it can kill you within days if you are unhealthy. I don’t know about you but I’d rather go to school then have a deadly virus attacking my lungs. In Italy the population is 60.36  million people so think about how easy it is for this many people to spread a terrible virus like this to each other. Also Italy has spent so much money to try to cure corona virus patients. They have spent exactly  3.6 billion euros. And honestly I think that’s a lot of euros. Italy is fighting this virus so much but this virus is no ordinary virus so it’s a lot harder for Italy then all the other places. Italy has been trying to learn how to cure this virus. But the problem with this virus is that it is spreed is so rapidly that it is harder then ever for scientists and doctors to find a cure. 17,127 that how many people have died from this virus and this is just in Italy. Think about how many people have it in all the country’s. People in Italy that have this virus are 135,586. These people that have this virus and no that there is no cure think about how they are getting throw this. Italy is on lock down this means that nobody can leave there house. This is because the country is trying to see who has this virus and who ever does will be taken to a hospital and there will be no more corona virus but this plan takes time. To help out stay home and be safe.
