You do realise that CoVID-19 is the same class of virus as the common cold? They are both Coronaviruses.

Think about that for a moment. Many years ago, I had wondered what would happen if you spliced something nasty into the cold virus.

Well, folks, here it is.

The former SARS is in the same category as well. In fact, CoVID-19 is sometimes referred to as "SARS-2".

@lordalveric Absolutely incorrect. The common cold is a Rhinovirus, not a Coronavirus.

There are 10% - 20% of cases of the common cold mistaken to be the cold when in fact they are a form of Coronavirus, but stringly speaking it is not accurate to say the common cold (the Rhinovirus) is the same as a Coronavirus, it is not.
