Those who were badly affected suffered acute pain and profuse bleeding from their skin, eyes, and ears.

Coronaviruses Just as scientists were getting a handle on flu viruses, coronaviruses emerged as a major pandemic threat. Coronaviruses were identified in the 1930s in chickens for the first time and named by Scottish virologist June Almeida in 1967, when she made the first electron microscope images. In 2003, Carlo Urbani, an Italian doctor working in Hanoi, Vietnam, realized that a patient admitted to the hospital did not have flu at that time, but was suffering from an entirely new disease, which is now known as SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, from the way it attacks the lungs.
