We all miss sports. During the coronavirus pandemic, we have seen every major sport across the country shut down which has left a major void in our lives. But while we all understand that sports are a big part of our lives, a recent promo video from ESPN reminded us of just how much.
ESPN dropped a promo highlighting some amazing moments in sports and reminded us of why we love when sports are a part of our lives and on our televisions.

The coronavirus mainly comes from animals and a majority of those who were infected early either worked at or frequently visited the Huanan seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, according to The Guardian. The virus is similar to Severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (Mers).
The Wuhan coronavirus is transmitted from person to person through “droplet transmission.” That means an infected person can pass the virus by sneezing or coughing on another person as well as by direct contact.
While a majority of the cases have been detected in the United States and China — with more than 3,000 deaths in the United States which surpasses the death toll of the September 11 terrorist in New York City — it has now reached many countries around the world. It has also been confirmed in Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and many other eastern countries.
