This new condition is just that— it is new, and we can only learn more about as time goes by.
I don't think that speculation by non-medical professionals is going to be helpful. As 'men/women in the street' We have to be careful and vigilant and look after our own health situation as well as that of those for whom we have responsibility such as children and elderly relatives.
Other than that we must just wait and hope that those who are involved in dealing with this matter professionally are able to produce a positive outcome as soon as possible.
