Thank you for the insight. It's been an interesting night; never before had I thought of chicken pox or a cold as a disease, but that's what they're classified as. In my worldview, up until tonight, my understanding of a disease was something that won't go away on it's own. Heart disease, Huntington's, etc. I agree about the media. While I've seen COVID-19 everywhere; I didn't know anything about the nomenclature in this field and have only heard references to a virus, not a disease.
