Thank you. You explained it pretty much identical to what I experienced.

I’ve been called some names and told I was an idiot here... just glad to know that I am NOT Superman and that others feel the same about it as I do.

Glad you guys are well!! Cheers!

My sister (NY) is getting over it. She explained it the exact same way.

She actually texted me a week into it and said, "I guess I can tell you now because we are all getting better"

Then I didn't talk to her for a few days and my nephew message me and told me she was having a really rough go of it, had to go to the hospital (not admitted), etc. Seems like she started to feel like she was getting better and then took a massive turn for the worse.

To be fair H1N1 was exactly the same. You would go through periods where you felt like you were getting better and then, bam, another bad and different stage would hit. But mostly, it was the headache that killed me. I get migraines, frequently, and routinely walk around with severe headaches. The headache that came with H1N1 was crippling and days long. Reduced me to tears at one point.

Researchers Predict COVID-19 Will Eventually Be ‘No More Virulent Than the Common Cold’

I’ve bee saying for the last year that this, “we’re all going to die” virus was nothing more then a political ploy and as soon as they democrooks got their way that it would simply die away.

So looky here.

The only one who should be embarrassed is yourself, for asserting that this coronavirus is the common cold. This virus has been sequenced by many labs around the world—we know its genome. We also have reason to believe it was engineered by the Chinese in Wuhan.

Just because there are *other* coronaviruses, doesn’t mean *this* virus is the same as the others. That’s like saying that because one horse is an Appaloosa, all horses are Appaloosas. It’s simply untrue.

C-19 is clearly part of the human corona virus family, and corona viruses are the second leading cause of common colds.

Saying that C-19 is a severe common cold is completely accurate.

The only reason that people think common colds are less dangerous than C-19 is because the CDC blames almost 100% of common cold fatalities on pneumonia and ARDS.

When people with C-19 die from pneumonia and ARDS, the CDC says C-19 killed them.

No, it clearly is *not* part of “the human coronavirus family.” This is a bat virus that was engineered to be able to infect human ACE2 receptors. There is no evidence that this virus naturally jumped species!

Stop being a Chinese apologist.

One year ago today:

After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown.

After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown. Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.

Re: "Stop being a Chinese apologist."

What? I have endorsed the man-made theory since I first read about it, right here at FR.

Wherever it originally came from, the SARS virus is definitely a corona virus, and since it has infected millions of humans, it is obviously part of the human corona virus family.

It never infected humans until it was modified by the Chinese in a lab. I’m not sure why you’re defending the Chinese, but you need to reconsider your position.

It did not exist until they modified it.

They took an existing SARS virus and added those little grappling hooks all over the surface.

It wasn’t a human virus. It was in bats. My point is, this not a human virus, as you assert.
