What exactly is happening in China?
Corona virus causes a relatively benign infection in wild animals. It lives in harmony with bats without causing any problems. However, this infection is alien to domestic animals and humans, and they do not have any immunity against it. When human beings get exposed to such so called zoonotic viruses, our body tries very hard to fight it out and in the process a lot of people become sick and some eventually die.
