Please, dear colleagues, do not believe the fake news and conspiracy theories that are spread on the net! It is not a virus that has been specifically bred and spread. It is known that coronaviruses can make rather easily the transition from animals to humans. This has been proven in the cases of SARS and MERS.
Unfortunately, there are no specific antivirals for the novel coronavirus. It usually presents with fever, cough, dyspnea, and myalgia or fatigue. Try to avoid contact with suspicious cases. You may find further information here:
