Corona means crown. The virus is named as such because of the crown-like spikes seen under the microscope. These spikes are proteins that serve a purpose for the virus because they allow it to enter human cells.
COVID-19 spreads easily and rapidly; the illness from the virus ranges from no symptoms at all to a very serious respiratory infection called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) along with failure of many systems in the body that may follow.
SARS of 2002/2003 and MERS of 2012 were also coronaviruses with a similar crown-like structure seen under the microscope; they, too, could cause life-threatening ARDS and multi-organ failure. There are similarities as well as significant differences between COVID-19 and these earlier two viruses that also caused pandemics.
