New Virus Just a Mutation Away? Yikes!

Scientists just found a new coronavirus in bats in China that’s super close to being able to infect humans—like, one tiny mutation away. It’s related to MERS, which is way deadlier than COVID, and the scary part is it could jump to us if it mutates in another animal first. The researchers say it’s not infecting people yet, but it’s definitely one to watch. Anyone else getting déjà vu? #virusnews #pandemicwatch #healthalert #Health
