The origin of this coronavirus is not entirely clear, but it seems to have become suited to infect humans, now spreading from person to person. From what we know, most people who get this infection appear to develop mild-to-moderate respiratory tract symptoms that resolve with time.

Serious illness, including death, has been noted primarily in the elderly and those who have serious underlying medical conditions. Despite news to the contrary, there is no known effective antibiotic therapy for this. As is usual for this time of year, there are many different ‘bugs’ circulating, including influenza, that make people sick.
