毕竟是科学家而不是政客，Clifford Lane对中国疫区抗疫措施描绘得相对客观，并赞扬了中国的医疗科研人员的素质。此外，他对病毒的判断如下：
Clinically......It’s not the flu. It’s not SARS [severe acute respiratory syndrome]. It’s something different. It’s a lower respiratory infection in which the typical clinical presentation will be fever, cough, and shortness of breath. It’s more serious than the flu, but perhaps not as contagious as the flu.
