SARS-CoV-2 is named after the first SARS-causing coronavirus. SARS-CoV-2 spreads faster than SARS-CoV-1 in 2003.

The use of SARS in designating SARS-CoV-2 is a natural extension of taxonomy practise for SARS viruses.

An investigation into the novel coronavirus's genomic makeup uncovered a single-stranded, positively-sense RNA.

SARS looked to travel from person to person by the usual routes of respiratory viruses: coughing, sneezing, and close contact.

Despite dozens of attempts, no coronavirus vaccine exists 17 years after the SARS outbreak and 7 years after the first MERS patient.
