Starfish are in danger

I read an article on news ela and it was about scientists trying to save the population of the starfish. They figure out that there is a virus spreading very fast through out the world that kills starfish. First , the starfish are like nothing is happening ,then they curl up into a ball, then the start turning into goo.

This article made me have some questions. So for my first question,I did, What made the virus start? I mean you don’t get sick for nothing. Germs make me sick so what makes starfish sick.

Then theres one more question. How can starfish turn into goo? I never new that. And where they alive during the goo transformation? Did it hurt? It must have hurt a lot because you turning into goo and dieng.

This article also gave me some reflections. I used to think that starfish where ok and that they didn’t turn into goo. I thought they could never be sick , i mean not so sick as to lead to death!

Now i now that they could one day be endangered animals and that they could be in real trouble. so now i now that they can realy be sick and that they are disappearing.
