The virus began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. SARS also originated in China. By the end of 2019, there were more than 40 cases in Wuhan. Now the outbreak has traveled worldwide causing a pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t know exactly how the virus started, but there is a solid theory. It&#8217;s likely that COVID-19 started with infected animals, then evolved and mutated to start infecting humans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-14524 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"810\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Epidemic-Curve-of-the-Confirmed-Cases-of-Coronavirus-Disease-2019-COVID-19.png\" alt=\"Epidemic Curve of the Confirmed Cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)\" class=\"wp-image-14524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Epidemic-Curve-of-the-Confirmed-Cases-of-Coronavirus-Disease-2019-COVID-19.png 810w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Epidemic-Curve-of-the-Confirmed-Cases-of-Coronavirus-Disease-2019-COVID-19-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Epidemic-Curve-of-the-Confirmed-Cases-of-Coronavirus-Disease-2019-COVID-19-150x78.png 150w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Epidemic-Curve-of-the-Confirmed-Cases-of-Coronavirus-Disease-2019-COVID-19-768x401.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption>Epidemic Curve of the Confirmed Cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Source:  <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/2762130\" target=\"_blank\">Journal of the American Medical Association<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Coronavirus\"><\/span>What is Coronavirus?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The coronavirus is not but one virus, but belongs to a family of them named &#8220;coronaviruses&#8221;. There are at least 7 known types of the virus. The coronavirus gets its name from the spikes that appear on their surface. This specific coronavirus is what is causing the disease COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first coronavirus to infect people. According to researchers, the family of coronaviruses is responsible for about 30% of upper respiratory infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve had a few colds in your lifetime, chances are you&#8217;ve been infected with one of these viruses. Theses viruses cause the common cold symptoms we all hate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-a-coronavirus.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These viruses can affect humans and animals. Some effect humans, some only affect animals. At the moment, there are 4 coronaviruses that are spreading throughout the globe affecting humans. How these viruses can change and mutate can be when one that only affects animals mutates and starts to affect humans.

No preparedness plans can take place without knowing exactly how it travels from person to person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 most likely spreads by traveling through the air in small respiratory droplets up to a few feet away from the infected person. Specifically when the infected person coughs or sneezes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coronaviruses, in general, don&#8217;t survive long on open surfaces. It&#8217;s not clear whether or not you can contract the virus via touching objects where the droplets containing the virus are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Bill Gates said about the next outbreak, it&#8217;s spooky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Af6b_wyiwI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Further reading on how viruses spread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"How Viruses Spread From Person to Person\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/cold-and-flu\/qa\/how-do-viruses-spread-from-person-to-person\" target=\"_blank\">How Viruses Spread From Person to Person<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"How Viruses Work (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/life\/cellular-microscopic\/virus-human3.htm\" target=\"_blank\">How Viruses Work<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_Number_of_Infections\"><\/span>Current Number of Infections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How many people have gotten sick with the virus so far? At the time of writing this, there have been 198,412 cases of COVID-19 infections according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Worldometer (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldometers.info\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\">Worldometer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To put this number in perspective, the last two deadly coronaviruses didn&#8217;t infect anywhere near this high of a number. According to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"CDC (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/sars\/about\/faq.html\" target=\"_blank\">CDC<\/a>, The virus SARS in 2002 infected 8,098 people, and according to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"WHO (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/mers-cov\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">WHO<\/a>, MERS infected a reported 2,494 infected people since 2012.  Those numbers would scare any who read them. It&#8217;s important we do all we can to stop the spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New York City confirmed they have over 3500 cases alone. They announced they would <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"run out of supplies in about two weeks (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/coronavirus\/nyc-mayor-eyes-sf-shelter-in-place-model-as-tri-state-cases-near-3500-27-dead\/2333955\/\" target=\"_blank\">run out of supplies in about two weeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, is the virus being completely blown out of proportion due to the media talking about it non-stop? It&#8217;s a good question to consider. Yes and No. I can tell you right now some people are definitely acting irrationally about taking some certain precautions because they think it will prevent them from getting sick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, this is a serious matter and should be taken seriously. It has spread at a rapid rate and will continue to spread and risk the lives of others. Let&#8217;s take this into consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>60,000 people a year die from the flu. The <em>regular<\/em> flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a lot of people, but you&#8217;re not hearing about someone dying from the flu 24\/7 on the news. You don&#8217;t see it when you go on social media. It&#8217;s never talked about. Which is why most people have no idea that the flu kills that many people.
