Covid-19 is rapidly spreading in the U.S. and has surpassed China as the highest amount infected. As a disease with no cure, there are a few treatments and measures to help combat the effects of Covid-19.
- Dayquil and Nyquil: these off the counter drugs are used to stop flu symptoms, and can be obtained at your nearest store.

What I found interesting in the article is that there still hasn’t been a cure or at least a vaccine to find out how to fix this issue. Also, it has me thinking that before some of us haven’t been cleaning absolutely everything such as boxes and they contain dirt, just makes me wonder that maybe we’ve been sick for a while without knowing.
