'Even though it's the same category of a coronavirus,' Fauci said, 'it spreads too efficiently.'
Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Dr. Anthony Fauci said during a Thursday interview with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that he hopes that coronavirus will respond to social suppression like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome did, but warned that coronavirus transmits in a different fashion.
SARS, a virus in the same family as the current novel coronavirus, was primarily spread from person to person. In 2003, a SARS epidemic spread through 26 countries, resulting in over 8,000 cases. "What I certainly would like to see is what happened with SARS," Fauci said, addressing how the coronavirus pandemic may finally come to an end."When public health measures essentially suppressed it, it disappeared and never came back."
