China has made a tremendous effort to stop the virus from spreading

China has made a tremendous effort to stop the virus from spreading. Many have criticized these efforts as coming into play very late, however it is very likely that initially the Novel Corona-Virus resulted in minor sickness, thus it just was dismissed as influenza or a cold. It would not be until people with reduced immunity were exposed to it, that it was noticed that they were dealing with a different type of infection pattern. Of course, China could have acted faster, but it is very hard to understand different disease patterns especially when the virus causes mild illness in nearly 99% of cases. China has a large population of 1.4 billion people. And, China has a tradition of having Wet Markets, where reptiles, mammals and birds are kept in very close proximity for sale. In such conditions where living and dead animals are together the chances of exposing them to cross germs they may have never been exposed to in the wild becomes a definite possibility. This opportunity is precisely what a mutated virus needs to jump from one species to another. SARS in 2003 and the Swine Flu in 2009 spread this way,in the last decade, and it can only be thought of probable that once this Current Corona-Virus mutates overtime and is no longer a threat as nearly always occurs eventually with Corona Viruses as virulent strains which make the host perish end up extinct themselves. But that being said, it is well known that another mutated Virus will come along in time. The idea is do everything possible so this does not occur for decades and not years or months.Efforts in China to stop the spread of the Novel Corona-Virus

China will have to reconsider the validity of maintaining Wet Markets, as in an age of reoccurred epidemics these markets are periodic threats to domestic and global heath security. The reduction of ecology and habitat for animals is another cause for these repeated epidemics, as previously much of the transmission was prevented by areas of large habitat. For now the mortality rate statistics continue to drop, though total deaths continue to rise as the epidemic increases. In all reality there are far more cases than those which have been officially reported as mild illness will remain under the radar in China. It is very likely that the total mortality of this illness is well under 2% and it would not be surprising if ends up being closer to 1%. This however is very little consultation for those who are suffering and those who have perished and their families. To blame China is a wrong reaction, having empathy with the victims and their families, to think about how to reduce the epidemic and to perhaps eliminate the next one is the only reaction worth having.
