LONDON (Bloomberg): The coronavirus disease spreading around the world has killed more than 810 people, exceeding the toll from the global outbreak of SARS that started in China almost two decades ago. Less than two months after surfacing in late December in Wuhan, China, cases of the coronavirus have topped 37,000. While both emerged from China before spreading to multiple countries, their paths have diverged in a number of significant ways. The coronavirus outbreak "could look more dramatic than it is." The number of cases and deaths from the new coronavirus may be far higher.
