What is a coronavirus?
Coronaviruses are named for the spikes that protrude from their membranes, which
resemble the sun’s corona. They can infect both animals and people, and can cause
illnesses of the respiratory tract, ranging from the common cold to dangerous
conditions like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, which sickened thousands
of people around the world — and killed nearly 800 — during an outbreak in 2003.
Health officials around the world are alarmed, but it is hard to accurately assess the
lethality of a new virus. On Thursday, the World Health Organization declined to
declare the outbreak a global health emergency…’When we get a new infectious
disease, we learn about the most severe cases first, the top of the pyramid as it were,’
said Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at
Vanderbilt University Medical Center…By comparison, roughly 200,000 people are
hospitalized with the flu each year in the United States, and about 35,000 people die.
But while some scientists say the new virus appears to be less severe than other
coronaviruses, like SARS and MERS, it is not clear whether the Chinese authorities have
been fully transparent about the number of infections and deaths, or even whether
these figures are being carefully tracked
