Stock market plummets after 'new Coronavirus' discovered in China
Pfizer and Moderna stocks bucked the trend and soared after the news of a potential "deadlier version of Covid."

Stock markets plunged on Friday after scientists in Wuhan, China, published a report warning of a new version of Covid-19.
While many stocks dipped, Moderna and Pfizer's shares saw a boost.
Researchers at The Wuhan Institute of Virology published a report said they had detected a new strain of the virus in bats.
According to reports, the strain is more closely related to MERS - a severe respiratory illness that can spread from camels to people through physical contact.
MERS has a fatality rate of 35%, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
So far, no person has been reported to have come into contact with the new strain.
The new strain, referred to as HKU5-CoV-2, uses the same human receptor as SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19.
The bat strain can infect cells by binding to proteins in the human body as well as other mammals, the study led by Dr. Shi Zhengli said.
The study adds that the ability of the strain to spread to humans "remains to be investigated."
