A '''coronavirus''' is any of several viruses affecting either animals or humans, and named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the viral cell.  Coronaviruses affect the upper-respiratory tract, causing infections ranging from mild to severe, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.  Several strains, such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19, the late-2019 outbreak in Wuhan, China, have been confirmed to be fatal.

'''Coronavirus''' is a family of several viruses. '''Ciovud-19''' or the '''Wuhan coronavirus''' as [[CNN]] refers to it, is a particular potentially deadly strain that first was reported to appear in the city of Wuahn, China in late November and early December, 2019.  The Chinese central government made no public warnings about a potential widespread pandemic until January 23, 2020, made no advance preparations to deal with a major health crisis, and arrested doctors who posted on [[social media]] warning of a large scale outbreak.

The infection rate for Wuhan coronavirus is estimated to be as high as 83%, with a mortality rate of 15%.  Hence out of every 1000 people exposed to the virus, 120 will die.  A non-peer reviewed study from China states one person can infect 4 others<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmrm0mk5928&feature=youtu.be</ref> (reproduction rate or RO<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUrURyXXmTw</ref>) and possibly as many as 14.<ref>Sars expert Zhong Nanshan said in a press conference on January 21 that a super-spreader had infected 14 medical staff in a hospital in Wuhan.<br>https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/3048518/coronavirus-case-load-and-death-toll-china-rise-epicentre-hubei-province</ref>  There is no known treatment or cure. 

==General term==

 

A '''coronavirus''' is any of several viruses affecting either animals or humans, and named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the viral cell.   Coronaviruses affect the upper-respiratory tract, causing infections ranging from mild to severe, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.  Coronaviruses affect the upper-respiratory tract, causing infections ranging from mild to severe, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.  Several strains, such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19, the late-2019 outbreak in Wuhan, China, have been confirmed to be fatal.

Sources within China say 90,000 people were infected before the Chinese government alerted the public to the danger of the epidemic. People reporting on [[social media]] about the true extent of the disaster from within the Wuhan containment zone risk arrest by the atheist controlled, [[Chinese Communist Party]] (see also: [[Atheism and the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic]]).<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-issues-harsh-warning-to-silence-social-media-postings-on-wuhan-pneumonia_3219251.html</ref> The Wuhan outbreak and the leftist regime's handling of the crisis has led to questions domestically about the legitimacy of the Communist government.<ref>https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/wuhan-coronavirus-hurt-chinese-communist-party-legitimacy/</ref>

 

In the first week after the news [[leak]]ed out of China, more than ten countries including Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and others confirmed cases.  Within six weeks more than 50 countries reported cases.

 

The virus is not related to any form of [[influence]], and its nickname '''WuFlu''' has used because of it is flu-like symptoms after the incubation period.
