Question

Which of the following diseases is NOT associated with coronavirus?

• A. \( \text{SARS-CoV-1} \)
• B. \( \text{MERS} \)
• C. \( \text{COVID-19} \)
• D. \( \text{Swine flu} \)

Hint:

Coronaviruses primarily cause respiratory infections, whereas influenza viruses lead to seasonal flu and pandemics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Swine flu is caused by the influenza A virus, specifically the H1N1 strain, rather than any coronavirus. SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) are all coronaviruses responsible for respiratory illnesses. Swine flu primarily affects pigs but can be transmitted to humans, leading to outbreaks like the 2009 pandemic.
