Wow, who would've ever thought that a new strain of the common cold would behave . . . just like the common cold

It behaves like the common cold for a lot of people, but it kills old people.

that same group of people that make up the bulk of common cold and flu deaths every single year.

True. That’s because they are vulnerable to viruses like COVID. Doesn’t mean covid doesn’t exist just because it mainly killed old people. Do you really think China would release a totally ineffective bioweapon?

not the point I was making though. People always bring up the point "but it kills old people" like that means anything but it doesn't, because the elderly never stop being vulnerable, they're vulnerable to literally everything, covid is not special or "deadly" in that sense a virus that shuts down the entire world and can only manage to kill 4% of old people is a pretty shit bioweapon.

So does the flu but I guess the new norm is to freak out about such common things.

It is not flu but the results are indeed similar.

Under a microscope, the virus looks completely different.

And flu mutates more easily. It makes flu more dangerous.

It is not flu. A tiger is not a bear. Both can kill people in a similar manner.
