WRITING ACTIVITY
Directions: Take a closer look at the Venn Diagram, showing a comparison between FLU and
COVID-19. Write a paragraph based on the given details.

Draft your paragraph here…

We were placed on global lockdown one and a half years ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We're still inside our homes today, but we're slowly recovering from the disaster. The COVID-19 has
symptoms that are quite similar to Flu (influenza). COVID-19 and influenza have several symptoms.
However, a closer examination reveals that they have diverse effects on various people. When it comes
to symptoms, these two are very similar. They are both spread by infected people's respiratory droplets.
If you become infected, you will develop a fever, cough, and fatigue. COVID-19 is difficult to detect;
doctors estimate that symptoms will appear 1-14 days after exposure. While symptoms of the Flu
appear one to four days after exposure. COVID-19 is classified as Sars-CoV-2 which is a respiratory
syndrome, whereas Flu has a different feature. Flu (influenza) is caused by the influenza virus, which
comes in a variety of types. Covid-19 affects just our respiratory system, and if not adequately
controlled, it might cause respiratory complications. However, since our immune systems have
increased as we get older, Flu will have a harder time infiltrating our bodies. As a result, we may be able
to better resist influenza. According to studies, obtaining an influenza vaccine can help us avoid getting
sick with the Flu. COVID-19 prevention, on the other hand, takes place in self-isolation. These diseases
can strike at any time. As a result, we must be cautious, and as we progress in our life, we now have
knowledge of such issues and are aware of the potential pitfalls.
