A news item that interests me

A recent news item that interests me is the news about the coronavirus in China. The coronavirus is so deadly that it can cause common illness to turn into more severe disease and can easily spread from person to person. This news is so scary that every people in the rest of the world are anxious and scared about it.

The coronavirus started last year on December 31, 2019, in the capital and largest city in Hubei province, Wuhan. It is caused by Huanan Seafood Market which sells exotic animal foods like beavers, porcupines, snakes, bats and rats. These exotic animals can destroy the ecosystem because they carry diseases or bad health like parasites, illness and some viruses. This news makes me so interested that this is why people should stop eating exotic animals that can destroy the ecosystem so nothing bad will happen.

The coronavirus is currently spreading in Asia and the rest of the world. A resident in Wuhan said, people in Wuhan went overseas to protect themselves and their families but some people are staying at their homes. The resident said people normally stay home with their families during the Lunar New Year Holiday and have plans to do some activities but they have to cancel it because of the outbreak which is very sad. The risk and the anxiety level of people in China are increasing every day because they are lacking some food, protective mask and because of the virus, even the rest of the world are scared.

This recent news makes me feel sad and scared about it because people in China are suffering from the coronavirus. They haven't found a cure yet for the coronavirus and I hope they are working for the cure of it so this problem can end.
