Zoonotic diseases, which pass from animals to humans are Coronaviruses; as of SARS, MERS and now COVID-19 all come from the same family of viruses. SARS & MERS have now weakened to the point where they are only part of the seasonal common cold. Once COVID-19 is finished taken it's course it will weaken to the point where it will no longer be a problem. But until then we all have to wait out the worst of it. In the meantime we have to avoid crowded places, keep our hands clean and wear a mask while out.
