As I gaze out my window at the sky while watching my children sleep, the brisk winds remind me of a building that I once lived in, wherein I saw, sensed, and were horrified, an encounter with which I'm not comfortable speaking. Fortunately, everything turned up okay. My name is Herman, but my friends called me Er, and the following is a story of what occurred to me 23 years ago. I have had a passion for writing since a kid. Now my guardian thinks I can go even farther. Consequently, they help me submit an authorship application and enrol in further linguistic, writing, and journalistic courses.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new strain discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.

How the virus was transmitted?
The Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning that they are transmitted between animals and people. They found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans through a detailed investigation. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
