"But the greatest fear at WHO is for Africa and other poor regions. "We're 
extremely worried. That was why we put out the global alert," Hall said. 
"People say: 'Only a 4% mortality rate, so few people have died, why 
worry?' But as we saw in Vietnam, when it gets into a hospital, within a 
week 50% of the health care staff are sick. Then it starts to strike at the 
very infrastructure of society. And if it got into the slums of a third 
world city, it would decimate the population.""

In another account, cats are seen as potentially carrying/spreading the 
corona virus/SARS.
