Summary
But how deadly is it?Our in-house Know-It-Alls answer questions about your interactions with technology.Coronaviruses are a family of hundreds of viruses that can cause fever, respiratory problems, and sometimes gastrointestinal symptoms too. The 2019 novel coronavirus, which is probably why you’re reading this right now, is one of seven members of this family known to infect humans, and the third in the past three decades to jump from animals to humans. Like MERS and SARS, the 2019 novel coronavirus appears to have originated in bats, but it’s not clear how the virus jumped from bats to humans or where the first infections occurred. It’s also possible that these jumps happen more often than anyone realizes, but they don’t cause serious reactions, so no one notices.Researchers are still trying to understand how the 2019 novel coronavirus spreads between humans.
