Describe one reason why CoV is so adaptable?

CoV gains a large amount of adaptability from its ability to rapidly mutate, with rates approaching 10-4; meaning that the virus is consistently changing its genome and adapting to its environment. This is amplified by its animal reservoir, bats. Bats have highly active immune systems allowing them to be infected with more than one strain of CoV. This allows for high rates of RNA recombination between strains, altering the genome further. Ultimately, this makes the development of vaccines and treatments difficult and the virus highly adaptable to its host environment.

Why was SARS-CoV so successful at spreading?

SARS-CoV is very successful at spreading rapidly throughout the population. The catalyst for this explosion in cases is the superspreader event. This is a point in time in which an infected individual (usually unaware) moves to a highly-populated area, which allows for the rapid spread of the airborne disease. Additionally, due to very high levels of globalization, a superspreader event has global implications with the virus now able to spread across the world. This is historically validated through the SARS outbreak in 2002 and similar events that have occurred with COVID-19.
