Unfortunately, COVID is now a Pandemic, Even Though It's Not Official based on the World Health Organization.

COVID is now a pandemic.
COVID, which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a PANDEMIC. It might not be an official declaration by the WHO (World Health Organization), but there is no question that this is a pandemic.
The WHO already has a credibility problem with many people, and that’s only going to get worse the longer they delay calling COVID a pandemic.

This reason is that the epidemic is now spreading on different continents.
Specifically, there is sustained transmission from person to person in people who have not recently been to China or have not been exposed to someone recently in China.
Of course, we know about the 80,000 or so cases in Asia, with China, South Korea, and even Iran still being part of Asia, but the big news is the number of cases in Italy and in the US as well.
We are past the point of containing the virus. But we can do things to slow it down. And this starts by declaring it a pandemic, with governments taking appropriate action to slow the spread of COVID.
As of the recording of this video, Italy has 215 cases with 7 deaths.

Over three days, a rapid spike in covid confirmed cases in Lombardy and Veneto's northern regions. As a result, authorities have closed down 12 towns to stop the virus from spreading.
And it's still a mystery as to who patient 0 is, making it harder to track and stop the outbreak there.
They have canceled sports games and closed schools, universities, restaurants, and tourist attractions. In addition, San Antonio has 6 new cases in the US due to Americans being repatriated from the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship. And there are expected to be more cases as there are more tests still pending.

You can't contain this covid because it spreads in infected people who don’t have symptoms. This has been proven in at least 3 different published studies from reputable journals.
The best way to slow this virus down is by limiting travel and avoiding big crowds on a large scale.
From an individual standpoint, the best thing to do is going to be the same thing you do to prevent the flu, with the exception being there is no vaccine for COVID at the moment. So this entails frequent hand washing, avoid touching your face without washing your hands, avoiding sick people, and disinfecting commonly used surfaces and objects. Masks, and other PPE such as gloves, may or may not be beneficial, depending on the circumstances. I dive deeper into this subject in my other video (“should you wear a mask?”).
Another thing you want to do is make sure your immune system runs at full capacity to fight with the COVID. This includes things like eating healthy, exercising, getting good sleep, and not smoking.
