The Coronavirus is Mutating 7-6-20
By Ethan V. Total Coronavirus cases globally as of July 6th: 11,737,955 Total Coronavirus deaths globally as of July 6th: 540,61 The Coronavirus is mutating, but it is also getting less lethal. This means it is killing less people than before but infecting more people than the virus pre-mutation. In many states in the US, we are already seeing a spike in infections but less deaths. Also, it is mutating in the way that now it doesn't only attack your respiratory system (your nose, mouth, throat, voice box, windpipe, airways, and lungs). It also attacks your vascular system or the Circulatory System. The Vascular system is important because it is billions of cells that carry blood through your body. Another thing involving the Coronavirus that has happened recently is that Broadway actor Nick Cordedo died from complications due to the virus at age 41. He had to have his leg amputated after he was sedated for 18 days in the ICU. On April 1st, he was diagnosed with pneumonia but he was actually misdiagnosed and had the Coronavirus. He had been in the hospital for 95 days before he passed on July 5th, 2020. If he had survived, doctors say he would have needed a double lung transplant because the Virus attacks your lungs and he had a really severe case of it. |
