    The COVID-19 epidemic has spread all over the world. Approximately 215
    countries have been affected by this virus. Stock markets, industries all over the
    world, and big organizations facing economic crises because of the virus are
    collapsing in some countries. COVID-19 has become humanity's living nightmare.

    COVID19 is one of the most dangerous viruses in the world now. It belongs to the
    Corona Virus Group. It started spreading in Wuhan city in China in December
    2019. It spreads rapidly and it probably spreads through droplets. The symptoms
    of the disease are very painful; they appear in about 80% of patients. On the
    other hand, some people are infected but they don't suffer any symptoms, so
    they blend with other people and unintentionally infect them. Therefore, it
    spreads quickly and causes death for elderly patients. Also, what makes COVID-19
    deadly and dangerous is that scientists have not found a treatment for it yet. "In
    the meantime, scientists are working hard to develop effective treatments.
    Therapies that are under investigation include drugs that have been used to treat
    malaria and autoimmune diseases; antiviral drugs that were developed for other
    viruses, and antibodies from people who have recovered from COVID-19"
    (Harvard Health Publishing, 2020, para. 2). Currently, people are terrified that
    they may get infected by the virus.

    Life is totally different after the COVID19 virus. For instance, loads of people lost
    their jobs in different places and various fields all over the world. Jim Zarroli and
    Avie Schneider wrote in the New York Times that "That brings the total of jobless
    claims in just five weeks to more than 26 million people. It's more than all the jobs
    added in the past 10 years since the Great Recession" (Zarroli & Schneider, 2020,
    para. 2), while other people work at home using meeting and conversation
    programs. Families are in quarantine at home. Consequently, they have difficulty
    buying household items, and they follow a restricted routine for home cleanliness
    and using sanitizers. In addition, children can't attend their school's classes,
    sporting clubs, training centers, or kids' areas. As a result, schools and teachers
    have initiated using E-Learning programs and online applications, according to
    Alisha Ebrahimji from CNN. "Students across the country are making the
    transition to an online format to finish out the school year. It may seem like a mini
    vacation to some, but for others, their workload just got a bit harder" (Ebrahimji,
    2020, para. 1). Presently, days are the same as there is no going out with friends,
    no family visits, or outdoor activities.

    Meanwhile, corona virus cases are increasing on a daily basis, with over 4 million
    cases and approximately 350 thousand deaths worldwide. Until now, the most
    affected country is the USA. WHO has published a website for COVID-19 statistics
    which is hourly updated, so people can find and follow all the information about
    the virus.

    Clearly, the outbreak of corona virus disease COVID-19 has created a global health
    crisis. No one can predict what is going to happen or how this crisis will end.
    Hopefully, scientists will discover or find a cure for this virus. Until the treatment
    is discovered, people in charge must find effective strategies to help individuals
    deal with social and physical distancing.
