Abstract

This article compares the most well-known outbreaks of coronaviruses in the past twenty years, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, to illustrate the correlation between them and impact on human society. Pre-existing scholarship has been consulted to compare and analyze the viruses’ known range of symptoms, incubation period, risk factors, fatality rate, and sequelae. The main difference in SARS and SARS-CoV-2’s symptoms is that more than half of SARS-CoV-2’s transmissions are asymptomatic, which is rare for SARS-CoV. Most clinical features for both diseases appeared similar to the symptoms of basic respiratory diseases. SARS-CoV-2 shows a longer incubation period in general. Risk factors for both diseases include age, with elders being more susceptible. SARS has a higher case fatality rate than SARS-CoV-2. The long-term sequelae of both diseases are still uncertain, however, after recovery, overall lung functions are damaged. As technology have progressed, there are more varieties of vaccine being developed for SARS-CoV-2 than SARS.
