Coronavirus

Let’s face it, global pandemics are not new: we’ve all heard of the “Black Death” (aka the Great Plague) that occurred between 1347 – 1351. It was responsible for killing an estimated 75 to 200 million people. Much more recently, In 1918, the first recognised H1N1 influenza virus broke out infecting 500 million people and killing around 25 million. In our lifetime we’ve witnessed Ebola, the 2009 “swine flu” pandemic and the 2017 “bird flu” pandemic. Now, we’ve been hit by the Coronovirus. So far 11000 people have been infected, and 259 people have died. Here, apparently, is everything you need to know about the virus: Everything You Need to Know about the New Coronavirus from China.
