Summer has ended and schools is just right around the corner. Students are starting to attend school, however, a rare virus has infected many students. Will Cornejo, a 13-year old boy, is one of the victim of this virus. He told his mom about a sickness he might have, but his mother thought it was just a cold and did not pay that much attention to the sickness. Soon, Will started to become very sick, so his mother called 911. This virus causes difficulty in breathing and coughing problems. This virus has infected many students in Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia. More than 400 kids have been infected with this rare virus. A director for infectious disease have practiced for more than 30 years in pediatrics and she has never seen something like this. The only solution for now is to wash your hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze, and to stay home when your sick.
The author of this article, Olga Khazan, does not share her thoughts about this article. The reason why she wrote this was to inform the readers about a rare virus that is spreading among students. She is very effective in telling us this information by using quotes from reliable people. However, while i was reading this article, it seemed like the author was rushing through her work. I believe the author could of developed the article more.
