New Horror Virus Kills Two As Infections Double

'Novel Coronavirus' was named in honor of National Novel Writing Month.

If you’re wondering whether any new SARS-like virus killed people in the Middle East over the long American holiday weekend, the answer is yes. The coronavirus, only discovered by researchers in September, is the confirmed cause of death for victims in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, while another case is being treated in Britain. The number of known cases doubled on Friday, so be careful out there, when you’re breathing.
