How deadly is coronavirus ?
Coronavirus is a family of viruses causing illnesses ranging from the common cold to severe diseases like Middle East Respiratory Severe (MERS) and Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). They transmit between animals and people, although several Coronaviruses circulate in animals without infecting humans.
Coronavirus is from a Latin word corona that means a crown or halo. The appearance of the virus resembles a solar corona when it is under an electron microscope. The name that researchers gave to the type of coronavirus that Chinese authorities identified on January 7, 2020, is COVID-19. It has become more deadly since it is the first time for identification in human beings. The information available about it is minimal, although there is confirmation of human to human transmission.
COVID-19 is very deadly as it has spread widely in China, and reports of infection are coming from other countries. Below are the reasons why coronavirus is deadly.
