Jeffery Whippo Discusses the History of Coronaviruses

Outlining the coronavirus's evolution, Jeffery Whippo notes that it was discovered for the first time in 1965. A set of related human and animal viruses were discovered later that decade, and they were given the term "crown" because of their resemblance. According to him, humans can contract seven coronaviruses. In 2002, the SARS-causing agent first appeared in southern China and swiftly expanded to 28 other nations. Jeff explains that the human coronaviruses HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-229E, and HCoV-NL63 are constantly circulating in the human population and cause common cold worldwide.
