PREFACE
With no warning, a pandemic arose, and 2020 became a new way of understanding the unexpected. The purpose of this project is to help readers and learners know the history, development, and how to fight the coronavirus. I will give details of how COVID-19 changed everyone’s way of living and thinking. As an educator, student, and public servant, I believe that this information will help provide safety and awareness of why coronavirus is a threat to all humans. This research will help readers develop information about what happened during the pandemic and what is needed to be safe for years to come.
I choose this topic because coronavirus is an ongoing problem and has affected millions of people worldwide. Just for the readers’ interest and disclosure, I’m neither a physician nor have any experience in the medical field. This project is for information only and in support of the cause itself.
I will refer to the current article and events when COVID-19 started. However, COVID-19’s impact put people’s lives in jeopardy of seeking unanswered questions and will hide the values of how to be safe and who to trust.
Since there is no valuable information about the virus, I will give details of what has been effective to survive. I aim to enhance the readers by providing key elements of how important social distancing can be and why social distancing saves lives when near someone who had and or has COVID. It is important for readers to seek guidance from the materials that are provided.
I will also note what precautions are needed to overcome all negativity from the ongoing pandemic. Many readers will feel the daily hardships of this outbreak.
However, this research literature will define why we as educators, survivors, and learners must become aware of such virus. I will include a definition page that will provide valid information for readers.
