Coronavirus: Is it really that serious?

Novelty Coronavirus, as it's correct scientific name, is a new strand of the coronaviruses, a large family of virus that cause a wide range of illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious ilnesses such as the Middle Eastern Respitory Syndrome. Scientists believe that the nCoV (Novelty Coronavirus) came from bats and snakes, a delicacy around some parts of China. The virus then quickly adjusted it's DNA structure to attack humans, primarly affecting the human breathing system in its later stages. Sypmtoms appear as if you've caught the common cold, or the flu, and you can be asymptomatic, meaning you're displaying no symptoms even tho you are carrying the virus, for 14 days, which has caused mass panic in other countries such as the US and Italy. You could be carrying the virus AND infecting others around you without you knowing you are sick. And it's highly contagious, traveling in the suspended particles of salaiva after you sneeze or caugh, which can linger in the room for a couple of hours. But, before you start to panic, and give out to anyone who sneezes near you, the nCov isn't as dangerous as the media seem to make it. Let me explain.
