The most recent analysis of the 2019-nCoV genome found it shares 96 percent of its RNA with a coronavirus previously identified in a specific bat species in China. “These viruses have been floating around in bats for a long time” without sickening the animals, says microbiologist Stanley Perlman of the University of Iowa. But there were no bats being sold at the animal market in Wuhan, China, where the current outbreak is thought to have begun, suggesting an intermediate host species was likely involved. This situation seems to be a common feature of these outbreaks. Such hosts may increase the viruses’ genetic diversity by facilitating more or different mutations.The major difference between coronaviruses that cause a cold and those that cause a severe illness is that the former primarily infect the upper respiratory tract (the nose and throat), whereas the latter thrive in the lower respiratory tract (the lungs) and can lead to pneumonia. The SARS virus binds to a receptor called ACE2, and MERS binds to one called DPP4—both are found in lung cells, among other places. Differences in the distribution of these receptors in tissues and organs may account for differences between the two diseases, such as the fact that MERS is deadlier than SARS and features more prominent gastrointestinal symptoms. MERS is not hugely infectious, however, which may also be a receptor-related trait.]]> 2020-09-21 10:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/30002695/6lri0tb8kfjeek1d/wish/763624155 The diseases that result 30002695 https://padlet.com/30002695/6lri0tb8kfjeek1d/wish/763638402
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
A novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes the disease Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in a seafood and poultry market in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019. Cases have been detected in most countries worldwide, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a pandemic. Human-to-human transmission occurs through close contact.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) was first reported in 2012 in Saudi Arabia and spread to more than 25 other countries. MERS originated in camels and emerged to infect people. Symptoms usually include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, and often progress to pneumonia. About 3 or 4 out of every 10 patients reported with MERS have died. MERS cases continue to occur, primarily in the Arabian Peninsula; however, as of 2019, there have been only two confirmed cases of MERS in the US, both in 2014.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) originated in small mammal and emerged to infect people. SARS was first reported in Southern China in 2002 and the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Symptoms include fever, chills, and body aches, and may progress to pneumonia. Infection with the SARS virus causes acute respiratory distress (severe breathing difficulty), with a mortality rate of about 10 percent. No human cases of SARS have been reported anywhere in the world since 2004.

between people through respiratory droplets and contact routes.

Contracted- Like the common cold, coronavirus infection usually occurs through close 
contact with a person with novel coronavirus via cough and sneezes or hand contact. A 
person can also be infected by touching contaminated surfaces if they do not wash their 
hands

How it enters the body- Coronavirus can enter the body by being inhaled or entered 
through the eyes or touching a contaminated surface.

 31,273,708
Deaths:
965,629
Recovered:
22,851,624

Research- It is very unlikely that you can catch coronavirus (COVID-19) from food. Cooking thoroughly will kill the virus. It is not known to be transmitted by exposure to food or food packaging. Everyone should wash their hands regularly with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds, to reduce the risk of illness.]]> 2020-09-21 11:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/30002695/6lri0tb8kfjeek1d/wish/763711489
