I thought I would share with you folks this web site, it gives daily situation updates on the Coronavirus spread rate and several other areas of information.

Better to be educated on this than not.

Good info to know.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. About 2% of people with the disease have died. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.

Yeah, I wonder if people would want to eliminate their chances of dying??

Yeah, hard to say. Many don't take advantage of the flu shots before the flu season yet an overwhelming number of people die each and every year. Maybe if that got the extensive coverage that might change? Who knows?
