China should be and must be held accountable and responsible and made to
PAY reparations to the affected countries.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus as an Agent of Emerging
and Reemerging Infection

Vincent C. C. Cheng, Susanna K. P. Lau, Patrick C. Y. Woo, and Kwok Yung

EXCERPT:

The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe
bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern
China, is a time bomb.

Read today, a chinese man died of Hanta virus transmitted to humans from
rodents.

Good news is this Hanta virus does not spread from human to human.

Yet: https://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/outbreaks/history.html

"By later in the summer of 1993, the media frenzy had quieted somewhat, and
the source of the disease was pinpointed. Researchers determined that, like
other hantaviruses, the virus that causes HPS is not transmitted from person
to person the way other infections, such as the common cold, may be. The
exception to this is an outbreak of HPS in Argentina in 1996. Evidence from
this outbreak suggests that strains of hantaviruses in South America may be
transmissible from person to person.

"To date, no cases of HPS have been reported in the United States in which
the virus was transmitted from one person to another. In fact, in a study of
health care workers who were exposed to either patients or specimens
infected with related types of hantaviruses (which cause a different disease
in humans), none of the workers showed evidence of infection or illness.

"In Chile and Argentina, rare cases of person-to-person transmission have
occurred among close contacts of a person who is ill with a type of
hantavirus called Andes virus."
