The world is currently suffering from one of the worst pandemics since the Spanish flu of 1918. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is rapidly spreading around the world, and entire countries have been put in a state of quarantine. The United States is beginning to follow suit; New York and California have announced strict measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. All public gatherings have been banned, schools, gyms and shopping malls have been closed, and bars and restaurants have been limited to take-out and delivery only. The rest of the country is likely to do the same in the coming weeks.
