FYI “cold” and “coronavirus” are not the same thing, there are quite a few colds (60-70% of them) that AREN’T caused by coronaviri.
Of course they aren’t - but whoever made that graphic was going for narrative and not fact or truth.
“FYI “cold” and “coronavirus” are not the same thing, there are quite a few colds (60-70% of them) that AREN’T caused by coronaviri.”
I believe that there have been 2 Corona viruses that have been around forever and cause approximately 25% of what we call the common cold. The Rhino viruses of which there are a few hundred, cause the other 75% of common colds. The Corona viruses are more likely to end up in your chest as opposed to the head cold.
SARS 1 was from the first new Corona viruses and now we have SARS 2 (we are told). SARS and COVID are not the names of the viruses but the syndromes and diseases they cause.
So yes, Corona Viruses are COLD viruses. Corona viruses have been a cause of viral pneumonia as have influenza viruses. Ever heard the phrase “there is a nasty chest cold going around.”?
