@Holohoots @RichardKuklinskisIcyGlare @BowsacNoodle @TrevorGoodchild @wishgranter14 @vic No, I don't admit covid is just a cold - but it is at the very least in the same family of viruses as human coronaviruses and NL63*, which I consider to be an edge case at least. The differences between SARS1/2 and hCOV are more subtle and take and understanding of what it does to the body to really understand why they are different. At least if you're going to be confused about those there's some reason for you to be so -- unlike the flu, where there's no justifiable reason beyond pure ignorance to treat the two the same

*see even I mix up OC43 and NL63 sometimes
