Two new studies focused on the new Chinese coronavirus have revealed that some of the infected were 'otherwise healthy' and others showed no symptoms.

TORONTO -- Two new studies focused on the new Chinese coronavirus have revealed that some of the infected were “otherwise healthy” and others showed no symptoms.

“What is definitely getting clearer is that there is a range of spectrum of disease. You can be very severely ill with a SARS-like illness or you can also have very mild disease.” “They simply have the cough, the shortness of breath and the fever, what we call lower respiratory tract symptoms. The new coronavirus is believed to have passed from animal to human at a meat market in Wuhan. The 2019-nCoV is most closely related to coronaviruses from Chinese horseshoe bats, according to The Lancet.No specific coronavirus antiviral drugs or vaccines have proven effective in humans, according to The Lancet.

“As we keep finding more and more milder cases, that death rate is going to drop further. Initial estimates of death rates are always higher because we find the sickest patients first.The Lancet report noted the limits of the study, namely the small number of cases, and called for larger studies in outpatient and community settings to confirm the “full clinical spectrum of disease.”

Hospital officials identified 2019-nCoV in five members who had recently visited Wuhan and in one other family member who did not travel with them.

The Problem with a Gov't Propaganda News Network when Crisis Hits: -will tell you everything is fine got control of situation -extreme measures are being taken, trust us everything is fine -if your sick with the virus stay home and die, we've got this under control

”coronavirus is believed to have passed from animal to human at a meat market in Wuhan” Many ppl/pets across the globe continue to fall victim to China’s lack of standards: Lead in baby toys Melamine in baby formula Tainted cat food Highest carbon emissions SARS/Coronavirus...

CanadianPM JustinTrudeau Is Canada prohibiting flights from China⁉️ What is being done to protect Canada⁉️ Any bet-takers on how forthcoming and honest the Chinese government is being on the actual numbers of infected?
