Have you been staying home from school and not going out very much?

Well this is because of a disease that is going around the world, you might've heard of it, "corona virus"

Corn?!! Virus?!

No, CORONA Virus

Now don't get too confused, to put it in simple terms, the corona virus is a newly found virus and it is also known as COVID-19

This virus is spreads mainly from person to person.

This virus mainly spreads in these 2 ways...

-Between people who are in close contract with one another

-Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks

hey

You may be wondering what happens when the virus enters your body, and I will now explain how that works.

First the virus enters your body and travels all the way to your lungs.

Then the virus attaches itself to a receptor to infect cells

After this, the virus begins to infect the cells

Once this takes place the virus starts to make more of itself

After this, the cells start to infect other cells which then leads to your whole body being infected.

As this continues to spread your whole body tries to fight off the virus, however in the process you may begin to get sick

This is what the biological structure of the virus is

The virus is very very tiny!

However, if you look at it under a microscope it looks like this

It looks like a little blob with spikes coming out of it.

When you hear the word "disease" or "virus" you might freak out a bit

However, here's something about this virus you may not know...

Kids are very unlikely to catch the virus!

woohoo!

If a kid just so happens to catch it, it'll just feel like a flu!

Older people tend to get sicker when it comes to this virus
