Experts are trying to understand how the novel coronavirus Covid-19 disease pandemic might play out by making comparisons to past outbreaks like SARS, MERS and swine flu, media reported. Some experts are reportedly likening the coronavirus outbreak to the 1918 Spanish flu (H1N1 influenza virus) pandemic saying that strict social distancing and other measures slowed the disease spread and decreased mortality rates. The novel coronavirus Covid-19 infectious disease, which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is steadily increasing world-wide, with more than 100 countries affected and over 660,000 confirmed cases.
