WASHINGTON D.C. : It has been a little over three months since the novel coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, was identified as the cause of a new disease.
The new virus is about three times as infectious as influenza. More importantly, as many as 25% of the people who are infected don’t seem to show any symptoms.
Unfortunately, even though these people get off easy, they can infect others who can get ill. Some people can be infectious for a few days before they even know they’re sick.
Naturally, there has been a lot of panic over how the new disease spreads from the surfaces of various objects. Many people have stopped subscribing to print newspapers.
