Hi, it’s nice to meet you. My name is Coronavirus COV-2. It was I who caused the illness COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus pandemic, and today I have an international reputation as champion of all sorts of other viruses, most of whom I don’t actually know.
When my parents created me, they called me Virion. I was tiny and always aggressive, but I lacked a living entity. They said I wouldn’t have a life until I’d grown and learned to live.
The Coronavirus family, a rowdy group of viruses who use the Human Beings as entertainment and cause them all sorts of trouble, gathers together and reminisces about the past, including various epidemics that they brought about over the course of history, up until the day that the Coronavirus pandemic broke out, leaving the Human Beings confused and helpless. The Coronavirus, whose name is Co V-2, describes how he caused the pandemic while also voicing some harsh criticism regarding the way the Human Beings chose to cope with it.
This is the tale of the Coronavirus from an unconventional point of view, whose purpose is to educate children and adolescents about how viruses work and ultimately – how to rid ourselves of them.
