Yes, but not this one. It's only the second variant of this particular one (SARS) to infect humans.
A corona virus is called that because of it's appearance (Crown like). But not all corona viruses are the same. All buildings look like building but a dog house is much different than a skyscraper. This one is a building that has never infected humans before.
We don’t know it hasn’t infected humans before. We know this particular strain hasn’t infected anyone that was tested since viruses were isolated and classified. It is possible this virus has been infecting populations in China for years but they have managed to cover it up or it may not have been as severe.
