China now accounts for around 17% of global GDP, compared to only 4% in 2003 at the time of the SARS episode.

This strain of the virus along with other mutated versions, spread through other parts of Asia, killing even more people. Some public health experts argue that the novel coronavirus achieved pandemic status weeks ago when measured against these definitions: By late February, cases had been confirmed on six continents, including 2,300 in South Korea and 650 in Italy.
Officials working in the Obama administration described being surprised as the outbreak unpredictably surged in West Africa, sickening thousands of people and killing about 40 percent of those who were infected. The US CDC guidelines also make this clear with an example: the death of an 86-year-old female with an unconfirmed case of COVID-19.
