causes -- so far proposed by researchers

1. paramyxovirus
2. coronavirus mutation
3. human metapneumonia virus
4. bird bronchitis
5. horse pneumonia
6. two virii, assisting uncommon but not out of the question
7. bacteria
8. related to measles
9. previously unkown virus.

spread by

1. spread by birds as well as people
2. roaches
3. drains
4. close contact, unlike airborne flus
5. eating infected animals
6. mice?? (hanta virus spreads that way)

prevention

1. masks seem to help (but people are probably being more careful as well) HEPA masks in that case would be advantageous
2. if corona then there are no known drugs that help
3. keep clear of people and wash hand after sharing anything necessary as in money or paper. A not assured method of transfer, but not unheard of in some diseases.
Do no share utensils with anyone. In some types of disease certain precautions we are told are unecessary, but to take risk without being sure is ludicrous.

sources

1. bird handlers, vendors
2. food vendors
3. people that live in close proximity

mysteries.

1. affects some in close proximity but not others.
2. virus may be a relative of coronavirus or a mutation
3. may have started in animals and jumped. (Tney are still trying to figure this out with flu after 100 years so don't hold your breath for a solution in this area)
