Virulent used to mean that it causes more severe symptoms. Is that still the case, or does it now mean “easier to catch” with Covid. I can’t tell, because they are liars who won’t tell us how dangerous Covid is. Not the original strain, nor delta, nor whathaveyou. The article says this is more “virulent” which should either mean more deadly or you get sicker, but I can’t believe anything I read anymore, so I have no clue.
I think they’re just ignorant morons, who could use a good medical dictionary when writing about medical matters. But nooo! They won’t even glance at a thesaurus. Fear porn is what they sell, so fear porn is fear porn.
In regular porn, do you think they care if all women don’t groan and moan and scream the moment they’re penetrated? To make it interesting, they put it in the script.
WH Auden said that imprecise language begets insincerity. He was right.
