It's dumbfounding how even people who seem to have some medical knowledge are HORRIBLE at actually tracking news about Covid19.

And then they'll start spouting their "educated" opinion that the virus couldn't do this or that, while being completely uninformed on everything that has been studied and observed about the virus.

Stop fucking treating this like it's the flu virus. It's not. It's an entirely new virus, that infects through a completely different spike protein, and as such, can cause completely different problems.

I honestly don't understand people anymore... do you think we're in some stagnant universe where new viruses can't pop up, and everything is "just a flu"? Is HIV just a flu too?!

It's not the Andromeda strain. It still follows the behavior of every other SARS Coronavirus. The flu is an apt comparison because they are spread in similar ways and have similar symptoms. HIV isn't the flu, because it's a totally different type of virus. You're comparing dogs and cats. Yeah they're both mammals but they're different genuses..

Why would you listen to the "experts" anyway, they've been consistently wrong, you'd grey better advice from a drunk homeless guy.

@alyx people say it's the flu because neither are dangerous
