San Francisco in the time of COVID-19

COVID-19 is a newly discovered coronavirus that has not been previously detected in animals or humans. Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals and humans. There are some coronaviruses that commonly circulate in humans. These viruses cause mild to moderate respiratory illness, although rarely they can cause severe disease. The SARS-CoV-2 (virus) that causes COVID-19 (illness) is closely related to two other animal coronaviruses that have caused outbreaks in people—the SARS coronavirus and the MERS (middle east respiratory syndrome) coronavirus. The source of this virus is not yet known (CDC, 2020)
