Dr. Eric Toner, a senior researcher at Johns Hopkins, said he wasn&#8217;t shocked when news of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan first came out in late December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<h3>New pandemic<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;I have thought for a long time that the most likely virus that might cause a new pandemic would be a coronavirus,&#8217; he told Business Insider. &#8220;We don&#8217;t yet know how contagious it is. We know that it is being spread person to person, but we don&#8217;t know to what extent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>&#8220;An initial first impression is that this is significantly milder than SARS. So that&#8217;s reassuring. On the other hand, it may be more transmissible than SARS, at least in the community setting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<h3>How did Novel Coronavirus develop?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear.

There&#8217;s no scientific proof to back this claim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>It was in late 2017 \u2014 15 years after it was first detected \u2014 that Chinese scientists traced the SAR virus through the intermediary of civets to cave-dwelling horseshoe bats in Yunnan province.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>But experts said the new coronavirus was likely transmitted from touching or eating an infected animal in Wuhan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>During the SARS outbreak, the virus killed about 1 in 10 people who were infected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<h3>How to prevent coronavirus<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>There is no vaccine yet for coronavirus.
