Since December 31, 2019, the world has been inundated with a constant stream of information talking about the coronavirus a.k.a. COVID-19. Roughly 3 months in, there is still not an abundance of information about this new coronavirus strain, how it spreads, and how to contain it. There are however a few things that are certain. COVID-19 is not the flu.
