Put simply Anatomy is the study of bodies inside and out. The corona virus attacks the hosts cells and releases its contents into it and it replicates like this.

How do I feel about it?
Personally I don't really think much of the corona virus nor am i really scared of catching it. Most people might get scared of actually catching this or spreading it because it's "dangerous" but to me its just another flu season. I would be concerned about spreading it to my grandparents though because they are older and it might kill the and i dot want to have to live with the burden of thinking i killed someone because i caught something that could have been preventable. This virus has affected me though because we don't have to go to school for a while and we get to stay home and do online work. It has also affected the adults i know because they are all going crazy about stocking up so we don have to go out and catch the virus. The same thing applies to the people around the world they don't want to catch this and are stocking up on supplies.
