What are the symptoms?
Many people with the virus look and feel like they have just your standard flu. The symptoms range from more minor ailments — like a sore throat, fatigue, coughing, and a runny nose — to more serious symptoms like respiratory difficulty. Those with severe breathing problems concern doctors the most, as early analysis suggests the virus is more likely to be fatal in people exhibiting serious breathlessness.
The average age of people who have contracted the virus is 57 years old. Authorities believe people with underlying health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure are more likely to catch it, however healthy and younger people are still at risk of contracting the virus as a few cases have attested to.
