Does anyone else remember how when this all started media outlets were calling it Coronavirus (first few months) and the WHO and CDC demanded everyone stop and call it Covid 19?
It’s because people were looking up “Coronavirus” and seeing that it typically causes the common cold...
“ ICTV announced “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)” as the name of the new virus on 11 February 2020. This name was chosen because the virus is genetically related to the coronavirus responsible for the SARS outbreak of 2003. While related, the two viruses are different. ”
...
“ What name does WHO use for the virus?
From a risk communications perspective, using the name SARS can have unintended consequences in terms of creating unnecessary fear for some populations, especially in Asia which was worst affected by the SARS outbreak in 2003. ”
My father actually had a common cold at 15 and lost his sense of smell for the next 30/40 years... Theres definitely other coronavirus out there with long term effects
This coronavirus is a bad cold, as bad as a bad flu, but it's still just a cold.
Well it’s a part of a class of viruses known as coronavirus, which are one of several classes that causes the common cold. Rhinoviruses are another class that cause the common cold.
What's in the vaccine that they are so desperate for everyone to get? Coronavirus is the common cold, always has been.
I'm against this as much as anyone, but saying it is the common cold is fucking ignorant and makes us look like fools.
“Coronavirus” is something that causes the common cold, so it’s not an ignorant statement at all.
You’re assuming that by referring to “coronavirus” someone automatically means “SARS-Cov2,” so you have fallen victim to the propaganda.
Correct.

Well, they still have the naming page up...

What other Coronaviruses are anyone talking about, you fucking idiot?
well it's an entire category on viruses, it's not his fault you didn't know that
The name calling just kind of drips out of you doesn't it.
Compromise: its a common cold that got a few extra RNA points to spend from gain of function research
2500+ coronaviruses that are common colds would disagree with you, fucking ignorant fool.
None of which cause loss of taste/smell and breathing issues for a long time after.
I personally know people who have had it.
