    The article below indicates the virus nexus was not the previously suspected Wuhan Seafood Market, but existed in infected individuals before that occurrence. If that is correct, the origins remain unknown at this time.

    Below is an article explaining the efforts and problems surrounding producing an effective & safe vaccine for this disease. Do not look for one before at least 4 months.

    Time for politics to stand down. This is serious business

    How much worse is this disease than many of the flu strains we see from year to year? Most people are unaware that it is not uncommon for a flu to kill 50,000 people in a year in just the U.S. alone. My reading of the death toll of this strain from reports of deaths in China measured against those contracting it is in the sub 5%, most the old and/or infirm.
