    My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    SummitRN replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are mistaken about transmission modes. Fecal oral is highly suspected for COVID19 and it was a known significant mode for SARS which is the most closely related pathogenic betacoronavirus. It is...
