Coronavirus

The recent discovery of Coronavirus, or COVID-19, is all anyone is talking about. The news is constantly reporting new updates of the Coronavirus and how we as human beings can help the spreading of this virus. The news has not only reached television broadcast, but it has spread to social media news, radio, etc. The virus is continuing to spread across the world and affecting many people. The visual coverage of the COVID-19 in Spain specifically has been sick people laying on the ground in hospitals because there is simply not enough bed space for patients. They are still treating these patients even though there is not enough room for them in a private room. The death tolls in Spain have doubled in just three days which is something people are concerned with. The main news coverage I have seen regarding the Coronavirus in Spain is focused on Madrid, which is where the big outbreak is happening. Overall, the visual coverage I have taken into account while being in the United States has been charts and graphs representing the death toll and new cases everyday. Personally, I believe they are using these graphs and charts to visually show people the increase of numbers and why it is important to follow the guidelines we are given, such as staying in our homes unless we are in need of food or medical supplies. The coverage of COVID-19 in Europe is focused mainly on Italy and China. I often see and hear news regarding those places in Europe because of the amount of people who have been affected in those areas. There has been a recent decrease in China which is positive news. Coronavirus has taken over all news and journalism in the past few weeks and is all we are hearing about. It continues to spread and get worse, but hopefully with the help of doctors and us as human beings can follow the regulated guidelines to help the stop of this virus.
