As the Corona virus spreads and more and more updates are being released, the more scared I’m starting to get because its spreading rapidly and aggressively. Everyone keeps saying that people who have caught the virus are typically older and their bodies already contain a certain set of mutations in which resulted in them getting the Coronavirus and potentially dying. So many places and things have been shutting down in order to prevent the virus from spreading even further. These two big museums were supposed to have their grand opening and now have to be postponed for another date which is still not determined. In order to help maintain the health and safety of not only everyone around them but also the faculty and staff. Everyone is advised to stay home and take care of themselves as much as they possibly can in order to prevent the Coronavirus from infecting more people.
