Sounds scary if it's true.

The "New AIDS-like disease" in China is a viral illness caused by a previously unknown strain of coronavirus, similar to the virus that caused the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003.
The disease is believed to have emerged from a wet market in Wuhan, China, where live animals were being sold. The exact origin of the virus is still under investigation.
The symptoms of the disease include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia, kidney failure, and death.
Yes, the disease is highly contagious and can spread from person to person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Close contact with an infected person also increases the risk of transmission.
Currently, there is no specific treatment or vaccine for the disease. Supportive care is provided to manage the symptoms and complications. Research is ongoing to develop a vaccine and effective treatment for the disease.
