Coronaviruses Prevention is better than Cure

• Whilst there is nothing new about the concept of
  prevention being better than cure- in the wake
  of the new coronavirus emanating from China it
  has high-lighted how quickly a virus can spread.
  Whilst we are still learning about this latest
  novel coronavirus, temporarily named 2019-nCoV,
  which was identi?ed in China at the end of 2019,
  we can all try to prevent the future spread of
  more common viruses and diseases.
• Whatare coronaviruses?
• Coronaviruses were identi?ed in the mid-60s and
  are known to infect humans and a variety of
  animals (including birds and mammals). This
  family of viruses are known to cause illness in
  humans ranging from the common cold to more
  severe or even fatal diseases such as Middle
