1. Bats have the largest selection of coronaviruses but we will talk about this further.
2. Probably never got rid of the virus in the first place by not mounting enough of a defense. If someone does not form antibodies, the virus could resurface.
3. The naming rules have been in place since 2015. And, yes, this does break the naming rules but the virus and disease were named in the early 2000's, I think around 2003, before the naming rules were in place. The virus itself called Japanese Encephalitis Virus probably originated in the 1600's, so this is not a new disease. It just caused a notable epidemic in 2017 and is still a major cause of encephalitis in Asia and western Pacific. There is a vaccine for it.
4. We will discuss this today.
5. That is debatable.
6. Linked means some connection to the market, someone could have just walked through the market. They then could have exposed someone else to the virus
7. Excellent questions. It is sometimes very difficult to assign a cause of death; most of the time a death certificate refers to the most probable cause of death. What is interesting is that people with other problems are not going to hospitals. Are they dying at home? No one knows. But it can be determined if having COVID-19 caused an exacerbation of a previous condition that then killed the person. That exacerbation would be counted as a COVID-19 related death.
