The patient in the WHO link had a certain strain of coronavirus but bare in mind the common cold falls under this as well I have a cold at the moment with a cough so I might have a strain of coronavirus but that does not mean I may have SARS
I may got it slighty wrong wording but 40% death rate surely worry for any disease.

Hopefully our weather will kill it it dont spread wildly. Loses its power due to early effective containment/treatment.

Found out looking in who apparantly respritory illness can be caught from animals. In 2009 Who had outbreak of hendra virus which can cause respritory or neurologic complications. Though the 3 infected fully recovered thankfully.
