The best studied coronavirus is the one that causes infectious peritonitis in cats, which are killed in an outbreak but are otherwise carriers between epidemics. The Sars virus could later enter that state, WHO authorities suggested last week.

Scary.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis.

Forgot to ping you.

While I'm pinging you, there's also this. Sialodacryoadentitis Virus in Rats. This almost never kills on its own, but it knocks out the immune system for a week, allowing secondary infections to kill. It's a coronavirus.

Thanks for the pings. I really appreciate them.

I must reiterate, though, that this is a very very big hype as far as actual danger to society or large populations.

It is a serious disease to be studied, understood and addressed, ie cured, treated etc...

It also hopefully has opened up some eyes to the completely irresponsible and untruthful nature of the Chinese government.
