It spreads through close personal contact, physical touching, and is an air-bollah.

born virus. The illness manifests itself in the victim's lungs, blocking oxygen from entering the bloodstream. The majority of hospitalizations and deaths are among people older than 65 with pre-existing conditions, especially obesity, lung problems, diabetes, and heart disease. Doctors are at work on a regimen of treatments, including anti-malaria drugs. anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, HIV medication, and more. 2.6 million cases of the COVID-19 are confirmed worldwide. 177,000 deaths. The number rises every minute.

There are 850,000 confirmed cases here in the USA, about 45,000 of died. 40% of them approximately are in New York. The CDC estimates just 2% of all the confirmed virus cases occur in American children under 18. That's roughly 16,000 minors contracting the disease. Only 12 children have died since the outbreak began.
