Covid-19
Caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19 disease emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and quickly became a global pandemic. So far I have managed to escape catching Covid-19 and tbh I would really prefer not to get it if I possibly can. Vaccinate, ventilate, wear masks in crowded spaces, and stay home if sick, my dudes ✌️
Did you know? I also have a wiki page called ‘Covid-19’! If you want to check that out, you can do so here.
