Fort Detrick Researchers Ominously Prescient in their Analysis of a New & Dangerous Coronavirus

New Coronaviruses Deadly

By 2018, Allison Totura and Sina Bavari, again researchers with Fort Detrick, discussed previous outbreaks involving SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV noting, “These coronaviruses may have the potential to cause devastating pandemics due to unique features in virus biology including rapid viral replication, broad host range, cross-species transmission, person-to-person transmission, person-to-person transmission, and lack of herd immunity in human populations.”

Although these first two outbreaks were contained by “diligent enforcement of public health measures” ominously they pointed to the threat of a “as-yet unknown BatCoV that causes severe disease in humans and makes antiviral therapeutics that broadly target coronaviruses a highly desirable commodity to ensure global public health.”

Instructing us back in 2018

Ms. Totura and Mr. Bavari essentially warned governments back in 2018 to start acting now when they noted that governments’ currently must “produce medical countermeasures that can protect vulnerable populations against known coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV) but also could be effective against…novel highly pathogenic coronaviruses that may emerge from animal reservoir hosts.”
