Covid-19 is disease that has spread across the world and is labeled as a pandemic. It was started in a Chinese providence called Wuhan. The disease was found most common in bats, and bats are a part of the main diet in Wuhan. People infected other people, and it spreaded fast. Cases are so mild, that patients don't even experience symptoms, but also be very severe, leading to death.

A pandemic is (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world. A pandemic is determined by how fast it spread, how it infects and affects people, and how far it reaches across the world.

While information so far suggests that the majority of COVID-19 illnesses are mild, an early report out of China found serious illness in 16% of people who were infected.  A CDC Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report that looked at severity of disease among COVID-19 patients in the United States by age group found that 80% of deaths were among adults 65 years and older, with the highest percentage of severe outcomes occurring in people 85 years and older. People with serious underlying medical conditions — like serious heart conditions, chronic lung disease, and diabetes, for example — also seem to be at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 illness.

Public Health Risk and Most Important Response Strategy

# data[].attributes.body
People 65 years and older and people with serious underlying medical conditions should take special precautions because they are at higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 illness.

The risk posed by COVID-19 depends on characteristics of the virus, including how easily it spreads between people; the severity of resulting illness; and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccines or medications that can treat the illness) and the relative success of these. Because there are not yet vaccines or treatments for COVID-19, nonpharmaceutical interventions become the most important response strategy. These are community interventions that can help reduce the impact of disease, like social distancing and good hand hygiene.

When considering the risk that COVID-19 poses to Americans, it’s helpful to break down this risk into two types: risk of exposure and risk of serious illness and death.

If you get a fever or cough, consider whether you might have COVID-19, depending on where you live, your travel history, and other exposures. All of the United States is seeing some level of community spread of COVID-19. You may ask to be tested for COVID-19 by contacting a medical provider or health department, but it’s important that you know there is no treatment for this virus. Most people who get the virus have mild illness and are able to recover at home without medical care.
Global efforts at this time are focused concurrently on lessening the spread and impact of this virus. The federal government is working closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, as well as public health partners, to respond to this public health threat.

During this crucial time, we ask that you please stay home and stay safe. Even though we are far apart, we are still one and will get through this disease as one
