COVID-19: The Basics

It’s still early days on the science about severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19 infections. ishonest provides the facts in Coronavirus: What You Need to Know, including how the disease is spread and how you can protect yourself from contracting it and spreading it further.

Even if you wanted to travel, right now it’s almost impossible. Most countries have closed their borders to non-nationals and nonessential travel. Airlines are curtailing flights and stopping business altogether, and many people are desperately trying to find their way back to their home countries from abroad. Several governments have ordered lockdowns and about 20% of the world’s population needs a valid reason to leave their homes. In the U.S., at least 100 million Americans are in lockdown. India’s population of 1.3 billion is under one of the strictest lockdowns in the world. Travel, even across town, is limited with most governments encouraging residents to stay home. Many public parks, beaches, and restaurants are closed.
