Again, for those who read fast (or for those who can't read thru my poorly-worded post!) the reason I say you should NOT search for "CORONA" or "COVID" texts, is because that is not what you need. What you need is fundamental knowledge of virus' and corona virus'. SARS-COV-2 is not magically different from SARS or HIV, etc. What one must do is to FIRST learn the fundamentals of the topic at hand. If you search "COVID", you are not likely to learn much about viral infections or methods of transmission, you will get hits and new stories narrowly focused on COVID. That gets you no nowhere, might as well just watch TV!
