How slowing Coronavirus works

Coronavirus. The one disease that we all know and hate. It makes us all scared to go outside and do something. Although the disease has not been cured yet, these three things below are required and have been proven to help slow down the spread of COVID.

Masks

Although there has been much speculation as to whether masks do slow down COVID-19 or not, the real answer is they are supposed to. The main reason as to why people don’t think masks do anything to slow Coronavirus is because they believe that it is the air that people breathe that is infected, although is isn’t. Coronavirus spreads through little tiny droplets that shoot out of the body when you sneeze, cough, or talk. These little tiny droplets come from the mouth and nose, which is why the mask covers them. How the mask is supposed to work is that it catches the droplets on the mask, then lets the air escape clean and harmless. However since many don’t wear masks or have either their nose of mouth out, the droplets still escape and contaminate other human beings. So although he masks don’t eliminate the germs, they help keep them to yourself.

Social Distancing

Although masks pretty much slow the disease as much as possible, because of rebels who pull their masks down other rules have to be put into place. Social distancing in my opinion is rather useless if your wearing a mask, but according to doctors Coronavirus droplets can only go forward for about six feet, which is where Social Distancing comes in. They figure that as long as you stay six feet away from others, the germs can’t reach you. Although Social distancing can be extremely annoying to do, it is required to decrease the chance of COVID spreading.

Quarantining

Even though masks and social distancing stop the spread of germs, quarantining if exposed is still a requirement. How quarantining works is when you are exposed to Coronavirus, there is a possibility that you may now have it. While sometimes you may quarantine and remain untouched by Coronavirus, the quarantine has been set as a safety precaution to reduce the amount of COVID-19 spreaders in public safety.

In conclusion, masks, social distancing, and quarantining are three important rules that help slow down COVID-19. Although they can be annoying and seem useless, they have been made for our safety and protection. While none of them provide an exact cure for Coronavirus, they all help contribute to slowing it if all 3 are done.

The best foods to eat while you stay at home

By Ayden Ewell

Staying at home for the past few months has been a drag for all humans involved. It all started because of the coronavirus, people wanted to stay safe so now it’s taboo to go outside.

While staying at home can be boring, the part of it I’ve hated the most has been trying to get food. You can go grocery shopping but that will only earn you weird looks and perhaps a 2-week quarantine. You could have someone bring food to your front door but that gets costly and again they might bring you the virus. So all that’s left is using the food in your fridge to make something tasty. Easy right? I thought so too…

Now the first part of making some food is finding a recipe that you like, something that tastes good is easy to make and remember it has to be using stuff you could already find in your house. Well, that’s why I’m here to save you, readers, a bit of time.

I have four easy to make recipes that you could make using stuff in your kitchen!

First are the mac and cheese bacon cups. Personally, I’ve been eating macaroni and cheese all of my life so this one hits right at home. This recipe should take you about 3 hours and will yield 4 servings. You’ll need 2 packages of macaroni and cheese, ⅔ cup of milk, ⅔ cup of butter, 1 package of bacon, goat cheese, and sriracha.

If you have ramen this one is something you need to try: Balsamic Goat Cheese Stuffed Ramen Bun Sliders. It’s a big name with even bigger taste. It will require a package of four bee burgers, 4 oz of goat cheese, 1 teaspoon of parsley, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 eggs, 1 package of ramen noodles, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and vegetable oil. It will take 50 minutes to yield 8 servings.

Next is Pumpkin Chocolate chip bread, this one is delicious. It might be a bit trickier to get some of the ingredients and bake but it will be all worth it in the end. It will require 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, a stick of unsalted butter, 1 cup of canned pure pumpkin, ½ cup of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and lastly, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of bittersweet chocolate chips.

Finally egg and avocado toast, It’s simple but it’ll get the job done in minutes. It will require ½ of an avocado, an egg, a slice of bread, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a pinch of chili pepper (optional), and lastly a ½ cup of water. This should at most take ten minutes to make.

Everything You Need to Know about the Coronavirus

Where did the Corona virus come from?

Though it has not been clear where the Corona virus came from, scientists are still trying to figure it out. It doesn’t necessarily help them find a vaccine for it, but looking into it may be able to benefit us.

There are many different theories about how COVID-19 started, and scientists are looking at how previous viruses that are similar to the Corona virus started to find out. They also believe that the disease came from an animal. They just need to figure out what animal. Some think it may have come from a bat.

The first person to get it was working at a seafood restaurant in Wuhan.

She began to feel sick, and decided that it was just a small cold. She went to a small clinic nearby to get some treatment, and went back to work. About a week later, she was lying in a hospital bed barely conscious.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19 and what should you do?

The virus can cause pneumonia. The main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. If you have these symptoms, stay indoors and try not to have contact with other people. Especially if you have just recently traveled to a place that has tested positive for Corona virus.

However, sometimes it is difficult to tell if you have Corona or just a small cold. This situation is similar to when the first person got the Corona virus. Since it is the season known for getting sick, people have to be extra careful with what they are spreading, and what they are getting. So just to be safe, stay home and see a doctor.

If these symptoms are getting even worse and are very serious, for example you have an extremely high fever, it is CRUCIAL that you go and see a doctor as soon as POSSIBLE. Whether or not you have traveled out of the country!

What should you do to avoid Corona virus?

The best thing we can do to avoid getting Corona virus is to be prepared if it does happen to you. For example, make sure you have enough food and water. Take proper precautions, and be better aware of hygiene. Clean your hands more often. Especially after you use the restroom, and before eating meals.

The proper way to wash your hands is to wet your hands with running water, apply soap, lather your hands with it. This includes underneath your nails, the backs of your hands, and in between your fingers. You should be washing your hands for at least 20 seconds.

How many people have been affected by the Corona virus?

As of March 9, over 110,000 people have been infected with the virus in more than 80 countries. There have been over 3,800 deaths from the Corona virus. Just over 3,00 of those deaths occurred in China, where the virus started. 62,000 people have recovered from it.

Have there been other Corona viruses?

Severe acute respiratory syndrome, also known as SARS, and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome, also known as MERS, are both caused by corona viruses that came from animals.

The Guardian states, “In 2002, SARS spread virtually unchecked to 37 countries, causing global panic, infecting more than 8,000 people and killing more than 750. MERS appears to be less easily passed from human to human, but has greater lethality, killing 35% of about 2,500 people who have been infected.”

What has happened to our supplies for COVID-19?

Ever since the Corona virus has been spreading all over the globe, people have started to prepare themselves. Many things at popular stores are selling completely out. Certain things can no longer be bought online either. These things include toilet paper, bottled water, hand sanitizer, soap, bleach, and many other items.

In conclusion, we should always be washing our hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and we should try to be as healthy as we can be. We should also prepare ourselves by getting the necessary supplies that we need. This way we can avoid COVID-19 as much as possible.
