Scientists and medical professionals say it is just like any other cough or sickness, it is spread through human to human transmission or coming into contact with an area that has been infected with the virus.  So is it curable then? As of now we have nothing but President Trump has been taking this virus very seriously in order to keep America safe and in doing so he has been working with Chinese´s President, Xi Jinping, scientists and medical professionals to find a cure to keep Americans like us and other people safe from getting the virus.  Since then the spreading of the virus has started to decrease, but is still slowly spreading to more and more people.
