Is there a new norm due to a mad killer on the loose? People are dieing and as a result remote working because of COVID-19 may becoming the norm.  But why?  This is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus.  But what the heck is it and how do you know if you have it?

Symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are a cough, a high temperature and shortness of breath. Simple measures like washing your hands often with soap and water can help slow or possibly even stop viruses like coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading.

The bad news is that prevention is important because there’s no specific treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19).Treatment is palliative in nature and designed only to relieve the symptoms until you recover or die. It's not a pleasant thought.  No one known exactly how coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads from person to person, but similar viruses are spread in cough droplets.  The same is probably true for this killer.
