Jackson Ryan from cnet said that On Jan. 19, 2020, CNET posted its first guide to a mystery coronavirus discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Dozens of cases and two deaths had been recorded, but as we wrote at the time, little was known about “how destructive the new virus might be.” The coronavirus — and the disease it causes — hadn’t even been named. It hadn’t officially been found in the US.
Today we call the mystery pathogen SARS-CoV-2. It’s responsible for COVID-19, a respiratory illness that has infected over 100 million people. In just one year, we’ve gone from two deaths to 2 million, across the world.
