The Corona Virus, or COVID-19, is a virus that started in China. Cases first stated to appear in December 2019. The virus continued to spread throughout the world to all seven continents. The spread of the virus was insanely fast. Some countries, like many European countries, have it worse than others because of how dense the population is. The virus is deadly for people who are older or people who have underlying issues. Although the media causes mass hysteria concerning the virus, we need to take this situation seriously.
The plague that effected the Athenians was started in Ethiopia and spread northwards to Greece. The disease entered Athens through its sea ports. By the time that the virus died, one third of Athens population was dead. The symptoms of this plague were very similar to COVID-19. There was a bad fever, and the victims had a "unceasing thirst", which sounds like a sore throat.
