Every few years there’s a new virus that breaks onto the scene and it proceeds to mass panic, then it disappears
True. But some of those (Zika, Ebola) do not have efficient transmission methods to move from human to human. Coronaviruses are much easier to transmit since in the 7 strains that are able to be passed to humans, all seem to be able to be passed via airborne methods of droplets (sneezing/coughing).

Several of the strains are fairly mundane and cause the common cold, and are only dangerous to those with compromised immune systems. However...

The SARS outbreak of 2003 was caused by a coronavirus as well. It sickened about 8,000 people worldwide and had a mortality rate of about 10%.

Middle East respiratory syndrome was a coronavirus that was first identified in 2012. In the 7 years since discovery, it has sickened 2,468 with a mortality rate of 34.5%.

Only time will tell on which end of the spectrum this one will be on.

As long as it's not transmitted via anal sex or blow jobs, Aggies are fine.

Is it a Chinese student and when did they fly in? They didn't get the virus here. Inquiring minds want to know.

The mortality rate is like 10 times that of the flu.

Which is very bad, yes. But only like one-third as bad as SARS, and one-tenth as bad as MERS. Also, that death rate is for people in China. Hopefully we can fare slightly better.
