All you need to know about the coronavirus (Covid-19)

Coronaviruses (yes, this is a whole group of viruses) can provoke different diseases from the common cold to a severe acute respiratory symptom. The main danger of COVID-19 is that it can cause severe pneumonia. Among all the disease cases that are provoked by this particular coronavirus, 20% are considered severe, and about 3% require resuscitation measures. According to statistics, only 3.3% of cases have ended lethally.

The virus does not circulate in the air, but is transmitted from a person to person; infection mainly occurs by all sorts of contacts. Often this virus enters the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes through hands or other objects (like gloves) after touching something contaminated with secretions from the respiratory tract of an infected person. The incubation period of coronavirus is 14 days.

There is no evidence that pets can carry the virus yet. Similarly, there is no evidence as to whether it can be transmitted through fruits, vegetables or any other type of food (but they still need to be washed). However, according to current information, the virus can remain viable outside the humans' system from 3 hours to several days. It depends on a number of conditions: type of surface, temperature and humidity of the environment. Therefore, it is important to disinfect surfaces, door handles, appliances and so on. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) does not recommend any restrictions on goods and orders from China (in particular, this applies to parcels).

Loneliness is not peculiar to people, it contradicts our nature, which is why dating while social distancing helps to fill the need in communication.
