YOUR QUESTIONS

SARS was another threatening pandemic, but then it went away. How did that happen? Could something similar happen with COVID-19?

"So, SARS and coronavirus are very related. They're very similar, so we have been looking at the SARS experience from 2003. What ended up making the end of SARS happen is that we were able to get in front of the next cases because the incubation period is very long. We were able to find all who had been exposed or had become infected and isolate them, which prevented it from moving forward. COVID-19 is more infectious, so it's harder to get out in front. From what we've seen so far, it's definitely different in terms of how infectious it is." - Dr. John Carlo, CEO of Prism Health North Texas

"And that goes back to the idea of a virus shifting instead of drifting. An abrupt change in the virus's behavior can impact transmissibility, the mortality rate and the like." - Dr. Mark Casanova, president of the Dallas County Medical Society
