A new strain of the coronavirus, even more deadlier than COVID-19, has emerged from China. The new strain is called “Swine Acute Diarrhea Syndrome Coronavirus” (SADS-CoV). While COVID-19 attacks the respiratory system, SADS-CoV attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing uncontrollable diarrhea and other serious problems. Someone infected with it can easily die of starvation and dehydration, as you literally can’t keep any food in you. The only potential good news is that the drug, remdesivir, seems to be able to treat this new strain. Remember that if you or anyone you know gets it and lands up in the hospital, as this strain is deadly!
SADS-CoV has shown up in pigs, which can easily transmit the virus to humans. So far Chinese authorities have stated that this hasn’t happened. Unfortunately, given the fact that China has covered up both the outbreak of SARS and now COVID-19, their “track record” of honesty and openness is not very good. Who knows if this virus has already been transmitted to humans and left the country. Only time will tell!
