   @greedbane It's worse than that
   
   we're in the middle of a pandemic

     @gentoobro covid is primarily a *vascular* disease, not a respiratory virus. Swing again

     Respiratory viruses have difficulty reproducing at fever temperatures. This is why winter is "flu season"; your nose and throat are much less hospitable to them in the summer.

     Global warming is a permanent, global cure for covid.

     That is, if either of those things were real.

     you know these two families of viruses are not only not related, but are wildly different in every way?

     @jeffcliff @gentoobro that isn't how viruses work, a mammalian/avian virus family cannot replicate in a bacteria
     
     viruses have a narrow host range, jumping between species is rare and requires common target proteins that can be attached to
     
     the idea the single largest genetic difference - eukaryotes versus prokaryotes - can be infected by a single virus is one of the stupidest things I have heard

     covid doesn't. It is capable of infecting a huge swath of kingdom mammalia at the very least, from mice to whales

     @brigrammer @gentoobro C19 IS natural, you are mislead. Go reread @Angie_rasmussen 's now multiple papers on this subject.
     
     > A coronavirus generally cannot jump species
     
     Covid is not a typical coronavirus -- it is capable of infecting via ACE2 which *is* conserved to a large extent across kingdom mamalia.
     
     >- C19 was most likely created by serial passage/gain of function
     
     No, it was not.
     
     > But no matter how weird of a bug it is, it cannot do something done by an entirely different class of virus
     
     Sure it can. It has continued to surprise us and probably hasn't even stopped donig so.
     
     >. Bacteria are nothing like animal cells.
     
     So? That doesn't mean that it's not possible to infect them. Covid also directly interacts with mitochondria dna. The same mechanism is involved there.

     @jeffcliff @gentoobro *If* something is infecting gut bacteria, that something is not infecting human cells - *if* people with covid or covid vaxines are getting gut bacteria infections, it is either a co-infection or something very weird is happening to create a secondary virus. *If* it is happening, most likely result of immune suppression.
     
     A virus/vaccine producing new bacterial viruses isn't something that happens - but C19 is not natural and neither are the MRNA vaccines. Things like PCR can replicate DNA and so a novel RNA drug or lab virus could do unnatural things, but it is not likely.
     
     A coronavirus generally cannot jump species - C19 was most likely created by serial passage/gain of function - and is clearly not a human virus. But no matter how weird of a bug it is, it cannot do something done by an entirely different class of virus. Bacteria are nothing like animal cells.

     I am sure you believe in the holocaust and that there is only one race - the human race - and every other retard tier idiocy. You refuse to accept the parsimonious answer for a novel virus next to a biolab being the virus escaping, and instead think somehow a novel virus magically sprouted and jumped species in a wet market.

     And covid doesn't. But it *does* infect across kingdom mamalia (via ACE2) and some human gut bacteria (via an as of yet unknown-to-me pathway)

     Yeah well I learned to read and write from boomers. Suck it.

     Yes, it does. The shape of the cells and arrangement of receptor proteins dictates which receptor arrangements viruses can infect. No virus can just infect everything.
     
     Also, stop putting two spaces after periods like a boomer. That was something people were taught during the time of typewriters - modern kerning makes it unnecessary and a single space is roughly the same length after a period as two spaces on a typewriter, where the period didn't not advance the carriage a full space's distance.
