SARS and MERS - what did the earlier epidemics teach us?

Before we had SARS-CoV-2, the virus that has brought us the disease known as Covid-19, we had SARS-CoV-1.

The disease it caused was SARS - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.

The outbreak was largely limited to China and Hong Kong and it didn't last long, but there were lessons to be learned.
