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.

@alyx tell me more about what makes covid19 different from previous coranaviruses
@alyx it's more like the cold than the flu since colds can also be cornaviruses

@colonelj
Sure, but the cold doesn't have the capacity to infect the nervous system. So don't be a moron.

@colonelj
Comparing Covid19 with the cold is like comparing a F22 with the Wright Brothers glider.

@alyx do you feel every strain of influenza have the same spike proteins or know that some weaken the heart?
