Previous Coronaviruses

Two of these can be summarized as:

MERS CoV in 2012 (and ongoing) Originated on the Arabian Peninsula 2,499 lab-confirmed cases in 27 countries with 861 deaths Case fatality rate of approximately 34% In Saudi Arabia alone: 1831 cases and 787 deaths SARS CoV in 2002-2003 Infected more than 8,000 people in 32 countries with 774 deaths Case fatality rate of approximately 9-10% Outbreak ended through use of containment and mitigation strategies

Coronavirus COVID-19

Virus that mutates easily

• Infects wide range of

hosts including mammals & birds

• 7 have known to infect

humans

• 4 of these circulate

regularly and cause common cold

The Spread of COVID-19

What may it look like in the United States?

Virus spread typically start out slowly and can increase as the virus is spread. Additional factors such as increased testing can contribute to a curve spike as well. Introducing the Epidemiological Curve…

The numbers are changing very rapidly Worldwide over 90,000 cases and over 3,000 deaths

Current Knowledge of COVID-19

• Incubation Period
• 2-14 days
• Possibly more infectious than influenza
• Fatality rate is lower than SARS and MERS
• Severe cases are primarily in elderly
• 80% mild cases-cough, runny nose, fever
• 15% more severe-add trouble breathing
• 5% critical-very short of breath requiring

hospitalization

• There are no confirmed cases in Yolo….yet

Fever Cough Shortness of Breath

Symptoms
