Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), also known as Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, is a respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV) [1]. SARS, and its sibling, COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), will remain in history as some of the deadliest infectious diseases of the 21st century. Both SARS viruses affected over 625 million people and claimed over 6.5 million lives worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 caused the devastating COVID-19 pandemic that raged for over three years [2, 3].
