the coronavirus is so small that you need a special microscope to see it
Corona means crown and latin, if you look at it you can see why
it's round and has little antennas that stick out of it
just like the points on a crown
viruses are odd they don't eat and they don't poop.
In order to live they need to attach themselves to people
they travel in through the nose the mouth and even the eyes
and POOF just like that they're inside you and you could get sick
luckily our body knows how to protect itself
special cells battle against viruses and try to get rid of them
these cells make up your immune system
there are many types of corona virus
they all come from the same family but this time a new family member popped up
because of this our immune system does not know how to get rid of it
and that's why a lot of people are so sick
some people just get a little bit sick
like us children for example but even if we don't get sick
we do carry around viruses
which can jump inside other adults like our parents
grandparents or teachers that's why they closed the schools
since there are nomedicines or vaccines
for now the only way to stop the virus is to stop it from
jumping from one person to the other
if someone sneezes or coughs the virus
travels through the air in droplets that can stick to door handles
if you touch one and then put your hands near your nose
or mouth or rub your eyes POOF the virus gets in
so rule number one the Golden Rule
wash your hands often and well
when I wash mine I sing happy birthday twice
also super important when you sneeze sneeze into your elbow
and no fingers in your nose no no no
keep a distance of at least one meter from other people
but the thing that works best
is staying at home for at least a while
like this the virus will be so bored and won't have anyone to stick to
and POOF will go away
