The results of scientific research have come to the conclusion that Coronavirus (nCoV-2019) influenza can spread faster than SARS when comparing infection factors and other indicators, which makes people in countries around the world. very worried
A study, published on Jan. 26 on biorxiv.com, by a team of scientists at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Guangzhou City, Guangdong province, China, on the transmission of nCoV has stated that nCoV can spread faster than SARS.
According to calculations, the transmission coefficients of nCoV were 2.9 by EG method and 2.92 by ML method.
Meanwhile, the corresponding transmission coefficients of SARS are 1.77 and 1.85. The team observed the trend over time from the time when symptoms developed in the patient until the patient was isolated in two cases of the two viruses mentioned above.
Each average case of nCoV will infect 2.9 or 2.92 other cases, while each average case of SARS will infect 1.77 or 1.85 other cases.

“I think in one week or about 10 days, the Coronavirus epidemic will peak and after that, it will not increase much,” leading Chinese respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan said.
The number of deaths from coronavirus has now increased to 132 in China.
The new strain of coronavirus is thought to originate from illegal wildlife trade at a seafood market in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province.
This virus currently has no cure or preventive vaccine.
The latest cases in Japan and Germany show that anyone in close contact with an infected person can be infected. Symptoms such as cough and fever are the most contagious source.
The most dangerous is that even people who do not have obvious signs of infection can infect. And from viral infection to onset of symptoms may take more than a week of incubation.
Comparing the present mortality rate between Wuhan coronavirus disease and SARS (2002-2003) shows that:
SARS epidemic (from 11-2002 to 7-2003): 8,098 cases, 774 deaths, 9.6%.
Wuhan corona acute respiratory disease (from 8-12-2019 updated to 28-1-2020): 6,056 cases, 132 deaths, 2.2%.

Cartoonist Niels Bo Bojesen replaced five gold stars on the Chinese flag with coronaviruses.
The irony made Beijing angry in Jyllands-Posten newspaper on January 27, in which the Chinese flag with gold stars on the left corner was transformed into images of new coronaviruses. The Chinese embassy in Denmark called the cartoons “an insult to China” and “hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.”
The embassy also argued that the caricature crossed the “moral boundary of free speech” and demanded that the Danish newspaper and the cartoonist, Niels Bo Bojesen, “reprimanded themselves for their mistakes and publicly apologize to the Chinese people.”
However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that Danish freedom of speech includes caricatures.
“We have a very strong tradition in Denmark, not only about freedom of speech but also about caricatures, and we will maintain them in the future,” Ms. Frederiksen said. “It is a well-known position of Denmark and we will not change that.”
Currently, Coronavirus has spread globally, thousands of people have contracted the disease, hundreds have died, and the number continues to multiply daily and for hours without any cure.
In Vietnam, the situation has worsened to the knowledge that the disease is spreading from China to all over the world, but the government headed by Prime Minister Phuc has not yet assessed its dangers, still open the door for Chinese people to freely enter Vietnam, so that by the time the series of flu cases begins to spread in the country, it is too late.
The ruling Communist Party of Vietnam has targetted high economic growth for 2020, but its government cannot bring the lives of millions of people in exchange for deadly money.
