Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in humans. The virus is believed to have escaped from a level 4 biohazard laboratory in Wuhan, China in December.
Chinese officials report over 2,000 people have died from the disease so far. But American officials suspect the number of deaths is much higher – maybe in the tens of thousands of deaths.
The virus uses Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors to gain entry into human cells. It replicates rapidly in the lungs, causing death from respiratory arrest or multiple organ failure.
People with an abundance of the ACE2 protein in their bodies are more susceptible to the virus.
The signs and symptoms are fever, cough, shortness of breath, headaches, and diarrhea.
