Coronavirus party

Coronavirus is a very tiny germ that can make people very sick. Because it is so contagious, many people are staying at home and not having big parties. However, some grown-ups have been doing the opposite and having what they call "coronavirus parties." This is when people gather together, usually in a big group, and try to catch the virus on purpose. This is very dangerous and not a good idea because the virus can make people very sick and even cause them to die. It is important to stay safe, wash our hands, wear masks, and stay away from big groups of people during this time.
