Is COVID-19 Here to Stay?
In Short, COVID-19 is an extremely transmissible and infectious disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus. In most cases, contracting the coronavirus will result in “mild to moderate respiratory illness,” (WHO). However, there is a greater risk of serious illness among certain groups of high-risk people like those in the elderly, diabetic, and immunocompromised communities, and it is beginning to look like COVID-19 will become a routinely mutating disease like influenza.
