• Resumen

  • Coronaviruses are one of the families of viruses responsible for colds and acute respiratory infections that have affected millions of people for thousands of years. Although they have been known since the 1960s, it is only at the beginning of this century that fatal outbreaks have occurred: SARS, MERS and, of course, the Wuhan coronavirus. In this article we focus on the latter, emphasizing its characteristics, how it develops, detects and treats the disease (COVID-19) that it produces and, in general, why it is different from the others.
