On the surface of it, the covid-19 is not deadly; i.e. if you do get infected by it, you are mostly going to recover from it. The mortality rate of the covid-19 so far is a mere 2-3%.  However, it is not the mortality rate that is concerning, but the rate at which it has spread, and is continuing to spread, therefore leading to thousands of deaths across the world. That’s why it is more important than ever to help reduce the spread, and this can be done by simply staying at home, social distancing and taking all other precautionary measures.
