A previous thread on the topic of a mystery, previously unknown Coronavirus was discovered in the forum from March 2013, so it has been merged with the current COVID-19 Pandemic thread, which now commences at Post#14 at the end of this first page. The Coronavirus outbreak from 2013 gives a bit of historical background to the topic.
Corona Virus timeline - Here's the link for the thread.

"This new virus has been known of since September when its genetic code was sequenced. It was determined that a patient that had died in the UK under mysterious circumstances fell victim to a new virus, previously unknown to mankind. The victim was a Qatari man who had traveled to Saudi Arabia shortly before becoming ill. "

"World Health Organization has issued a global alert and scientists are preparing for the worst. "
"Or so it seemed. Since the virus came to light in September last year, the number of cases has risen to 15. More than half have died. "
" The 60-year-old man had been admitted to the hospital with severe viral pneumonia"
"We now had two cases occuring several months apart, of a virus in the same family as Sars, and both cases had bad pneumonias."
This virus seems to pose a severe threat. The symptoms are respiratory distress, fever, coughing and difficulty in breathing. It is a coronovirus, therefore it spreads through coughs, sneezes, and contact with the virus.
"His pneumonia worsened; his breath got shorter. His kidneys and other organs began to falter and fail. Despite all the drugs and dialysis, and mechanical ventilation to help him breathe, the man was dead 11 days after he arrived at the hospital.
It seems quite serious and the death rate in the 3rd quote is alarming.
Its potential for pandemic is as of yet unclear:
"There are no signs that the virus spreads easily from person to person. The HPA followed up 60-odd people, including doctors and nurses, who came into contact with the patient at St Thomas's Hospital. They traced more than 100 others who had contact with the British family. None tested positive for the virus.
So far, so reassuring. But the virus will mutate and may adapt to spread more easily, scientists warn. "That is what we are worried about," says Eric Snijder, head of molecular virology at Leiden University. "If that happened you might get a pandemic variant that spreads easily, and that would be a major problem."
The WHO is sure going to declare this a pandemic of biblical proportions to be able to deploy vaccines more effectively and easily. Big pharma is going to milk this with medicines and vaccines.
Will an equal number of people be as bold as they were when the pig flu came and say no? We'll see.
The big question is - Could it have been comet-borne?

New mystery virus kills ninth victim
As we have previously reported, the new virus has claimed victims in the UK, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Now, it has claimed its nineth victim, bringing the total confirmed infected to 15. According to the World Health Organization, the 39-year-old...

Coronavirus: Is this the next pandemic?
Last September a doctor in a Saudi hospital was fired for reporting a new, deadly strain of the coronavirus. Now, with half of all confirmed cases ending in death, the World Health Organisation has issued a global alert and scientists are...
