Even if one should not live in fear of this virus, some experts believe that the pandemic is inevitable. Researchers are working hard to find a vaccine to protect the world’s population. But, according to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, the epidemic is likely to wane before the vaccine is ready.
Both the coronavirus and the flu are dangerous, especially for the elderly (over 65), individuals suffering from chronic diseases or having a weak immune system (asthma, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, etc.) and smokers. Children tend to have little or no symptoms. The deaths concern, at the time of writing, the most vulnerable. There is no reason to panic.
