Abstract
There have been many conflicting messages about the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Initially, many of our colleagues were thinking on the basis of the first scant descriptions that this was just a new flu virus – nothing to worry about. However, as more and more experience is accumulating, it becomes obvious that although it is indeed a virus belonging to the flu family, this one has peculiarities which have the potential of straining some of our health care resources to the extreme.Keywords
