Recently, a Saudi man infected new deadly virus has died. Nine of the 15 people confirmed to have been infected with this virus have died. The virus called NcoV causes common colds but similar to SARS. Symptoms of NcoV include serious respiratory illness, fever, and coughing. Scientists found that NcoV is well adapted to infecting humans and may be able to use medicines similar to drug for SARS.
I can't remember how serious the damage of SARS as I was young, but I know that it was tremendous. Also, the novel influenza prevailed throughout the country few years ago. Like this, new viruses or new diseases are springing up and threatening human beings. I just hope that scientists deal with viruses quickly.
