A 2009 outbreak introduced a new strain of H1N1 flu that never left. Today, doctors and researchers see parallels between that pandemic and the coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, according to a story on the USA Today website.
The coronavirus outbreak, which sees more cases reported by the hour, is so far largely contained to mainland China; fewer than 400 cases have been reported elsewhere.
