Coronavirus(a worksheet)

Optimistic prediction

 

• “One scenario is that we go through a pandemic,” as the current outbreak may become, said Columbia’s 

Morse. “Then, depending what the virus does, it could quite possibly settle down into a respiratory illness 

that comes back seasonally.”

• It’s still possible that quarantines and travel bans will first halt the outbreak and then eradicate the 

microbe, and the world will never see 2019-nCoV again, as epidemiologist Dr. Mike Ryan, head of health 

emergencies at the World Health Organization, told STAT on Saturday.
