"Currently the #Wuhan #coronavirus is not as infectious as SARS, the fatality rate is lower. But the virus is getting stronger, the number of infections is likely to rise.

So we just have to be psychologically prepared that this can get worse than SARS." channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore…

For many Singaporeans, #Wuhan #coronavirus brings back the traumatic memories of SARS outbreak in 2003 which infected 283 people and claimed 33 lives in SG, including several healthcare workers who treated SARS patients.
