In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)."
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.
People who are to get more affected are "people 65 years and older" and "people who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility."
Someone who has completed quarantine or has been released from isolation does not pose a risk of infection to other people.

Authors Note-

The Corona Virus or Covid-19 is a new epidemic that has spread throughout the world and has been affecting people around the world. The Covid-19 is a type of influenza with the common symptoms of fever, tiredness, and heavy dry coughs. From what I have researched that it takes around 5 to 6 days for symptoms to take affect once exposed to it. The recovery in which most patients have shown is 2 weeks unless you have a severe case then it will take more to 3 or even up to 6 weeks. The Covid-19 virus has definitely been a struggle for most people since before this people were always actively out with friends, family, and etc. but now everyone is forced to social distance and stay home to prevent the spread with can be difficult since were so used to be free to roam anytime. Empathy is said as the ability for everyone to understand and share feeling for another. And the Covid-19 has definitely caused everyone to look out for each other specially to make sure that people do their part to help against this pandemic. One of the biggest things is that retired doctors and nurses are all coming back to give more one call staff for hospitals who might be in need to people or places that have more patients coming in each day. I think everyone should take a moment every day and give empathy to those around them. The healthcare in the United States can be taken for granted but they have taken all the necessary procedures to step up and increase the effort the hospitals are giving to help fight against the coronavirus. There is many photos and short clips of how hard and how much people have come together to help everyone who has been affected to keep people safe. Everyone who is working together to fight against Covid-19 show the more empathy for each other since all of them are working together and understand how serious it is to keep Covid-19 from spreading and how important it is. The Coronavirus has had a very large impact on people recently all around the world and will most likely be remembered in history. Especially the amount of lives lost and cases constantly increasing. Right now, total cases in the US are at 746,625 and the death count is also at a whopping 39,083. Although this is what is happening now all the medical support that is still increasing. I think empathy is a great word to use when talking about the world being at crisis because it gives and good example and an even better idea as to what the meaning really is. Especially since seeing that there has been a lot of people devoting towards solving this corona virus issue. The amount of help many people are giving out is phenomenal and shows the vast and great amount of empathy shown by everyone in the world and how it flourishes throughout everyone.
