- Summary
- "It began with a bat. This was the species in which the virus first emerged before infecting humans. A member of the coronavirus family of diseases, the symptoms of the virus included high fever, dry cough, body aches, diarrhea, and pneumonia. It spread primarily through respiratory droplets emitted when an infected person coughed or sneezed. This made it important to minimize person-to-person contact and observe social distancing in public spaces where the virus could be transmitted. Once the world became aware of the disease, it mobilized to stop it. These efforts were successful. Quarantine measures, quickly adopted, substantially slowed the spread of the disease. Within months of the detection of the virus in humans, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak contained. A total of 8,098 people were infected during the outbreak, and 774 died. [This was] the 2003 SARS outbreak, although one could be forgiven for thinking [of] Covid-19. SARS was contained quickly with relatively few infections and deaths while Covid-19 became a global crisis that infected and killed millions and effectively made the earth stand still. The key question we should be asking ourselves is this: what challenges were facing us when SARS hit that we should have tended to so that we could have handled Covid-19 better? And the next contagion?"--
