Who are Off-Guardian?OffGuardian (off-guardian.org) is an independent alternative media and opinion website launched in February 2015. Its name is a direct play on The Guardian newspaper, as the site was founded by five creators who had been censored or banned from commenting on The Guardian's "Comment is Free" interactive sections.
What is Coronavirus?Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that are typically mild, such as the common cold, though rarer forms such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 can be lethal. Symptoms vary in other species: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.
