China apologises to family of doctor who died after warning about COVID-19

People call it Wuhan virus. Donald Trump calls it China virus.

Yes there are many names.

It doesn't matter, it is still not the same with Sars.

WHO calls it SARS version 2.

Naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
Coronavirus Cases:
265,863
Deaths:
11,179

When Dr. Li said Sars came back, people would think of the blue line, but the fact is the new virus takes the red line, so his intial information was not totally right.

Trump should also apologize to Americans by calling COVID19 just a 'flu'.

This isn't related to Trump though. Also, I don't think Canadians handled this any better. They said risk was low to Canadians

If they are the same, why people call the new one Covid-19, Sars killed around 700 people all together, and covid-19 has already killed 11,179 people so far, see the difference?

COVID-19 = SARS-CoV-2
SARS = SARS-CoV

Both cause death by severe acute respiratory infection.

COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and now with this new virus (named SARS-CoV-2).

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. All three of these viruses have their origins in bats. The sequences from U.S. patients are similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single, recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir.

Hi,

Unless china does charge and EXECUTE the police officers responsible and the Mayor of the city by a firing squad---this apology is not enough---.
