The coronavirus, currently capturing public attention as 2019-nCoV, has previously caused other respiratory illnesses. The virus is known as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

Although 2019-nCoV's infection rate is the highest, its mortality rate is the lowest. Statistics show a mortality rate of only 2.2%, although experts estimate it could be higher or lower. This is because many cases remain unconfirmed. 2019-nCoV kills one person for every 50 infected.

SARS could kill five out of 50 infected people. This virus killed 10% of those infected. MERS has the highest mortality rate, killing 17 out of 50 infected people. This equates to a 35% mortality rate when the outbreak was discovered in 2012.
