The culprit of this outbreak is a coronavirus. Coronavirus is a large family of viruses. It includes the common cold at the mild side and SARS at the deadlier end of the scale.

The people who cannot fight this off are those with compromised immune systems or those on anti-histamines or people who recently had chemo and the elderly.

So, keep loved ones who are at risk as isolated as possible for a few weeks/months... check...
Also, I'd urge anyone who is at risk to immediately get at least one, if not a series of mega-dose IV Vitamin C sessions, and at the first sign of any symptoms, get another one. It will knock most stuff like this out in no time. Of course, if it s genetically engineered, it may not be as effective, but would still likely save your life.

It is airborne now... and can spread like the common cold.
There are also animal versions and my betting money is on chicken/swine infection in Wuhtan (sp??), China, before it crossed over to humans.
There could already be people walking around who have been exposed.
And if it mutates again... well, I will see you standing in line to get my mercury laden shot... which is better than drowning in my own phlegm!
The global travel access is what is scary.

I believe in vitamin C but even one pill gives me some severe burny butt issues.
That guy Burny Butt is a real pain in the A$$
