Only weeks after the initial reports of unusual illnesses in Wuhan, China, the first US case of #coronavirus has been identified. Spread of this new virus brings to mind the 2003 SARS epidemic. How similar/different is this outbreak from SARS? Some thoughts.
No approved treatments or vaccines available for these two viruses, though scientists have been working on a SARS vaccine and started work on a novel coronavirus vaccine. Containment of SARS relied on infection control, isolation, quarantine and other non-pharmaceutical measures.
Screening of international travelers for fevers/signs of illness is an aspect of both responses. Canada and multiple Asian countries screened millions of passengers but did not find a case SARS that way. WHO recommends against border screening for identifying cases.
