Separating Fact From Fiction on the New Coronavirus

The new strain of coronavirus out of the Chinese city of Wuhan has made headlines across the world for weeks now. And while this current form of the virus is not nearly as fatal as the flu, the uncertainty around the cause of the virus has many around the world worried.
