Editing Blog: Effects of the Corona Virus :(

Corona viruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). The Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans. Corona viruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known corona viruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. People of all ages can be infected by the new corona virus (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. Since the outbreak of this virus I have not been able to edit with my group to help finish project. The main reason I haven't been able to edit  is because the state of Florida is under quarantine and to edit my group has to finish filming. A quarantine is a restriction on the movement of people and goods which is intended to prevent the spread of disease or pests. It is often used in connection to disease and illness. Quarantines prevent the movement of those who may have been exposed to a communicable disease, but do not have a confirmed medical diagnosis. Due to this quarantine it has been very difficult to get the group together and film or edit . One of the scariest things about the virus is how it effected the economy so quickly. My advice to anyone is that if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early. Stay home if you feel unwell and get plenty of rest and stay isolated from the outside world.
