This is not MERS. MERS infected 186 people in Korea and 2500 people worldwide. COVID-19 is up to more than 700,000 confirmed cases worldwide now, with no signs of slowing down. It's clear that COVID-19 is an entirely different disease - the fact that they're both coronaviruses notwithstanding.
It's not entirely different. It's a corona virus, just like MERS. And there is no evidence that the disease spreads significantly differently. In both cases the claim that it is spread by asymptomatic people has not been proven, in both cases you will find professionals saying that it is spread by symptomatic people to other people through droplets, only. That's from their literature. I realize that the media is saying wildly different things but the media is notorious for over stating their case. And sometimes politically motivated professionals will do this also.
