Michelangelo school's students answer some questions
1.
The virus that causes COVID-19 and the one that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 are related to each other genetically, but the diseases they cause are quite different. There is no specific treatment for disease caused by the new coronavirus. However, many of the symptoms can be treated and therefore treatment is based on the patient's clinical condition. People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Older people and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, and heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.
WHO advises people of all ages to take steps to protect themselves from the virus, for example by following good hand hygiene and good respiratory hygiene.
The most common symptoms are fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and even death. The period within which the symptoms would appear is 2-14 days.

Quite the same things, playing bass, study for school, study Japanese, sometimes drawing, I’m a sedentary type of guy.

Obviously not, and it’s ok that way. However, without rushing things, we’ll surely find the way to produce a vaccine!
