PSA: COVID-19 isn’t “just a cold,” isn’t “a respiratory virus,” and “mild” doesn’t mean what you think it does.

Presented without comment. A potentially useful aggregation of COVID research. Still working my way through the resources linked.

Do with it what you will.

    I had Covid and it was so mild, borderline funny. However, the economy coming to knees for a flu is a sad joke.

    This would have been true during the pandemic perhaps.

    These days, we are perhaps ready to classify the SARS-COV2 virus alongside other coronaviruses that constitute the ‘common cold’ to - due to widespread immunity from both vaccinations and natural infections as well as a dramatic genetic drift towards a milder upper respiratory disease

    Human coronavirus OC43 may be a reasonable analogy, having possibly been responsible for a historical pandemic but now is considered to be a common cold virus

    Consistently coders with social media prove, without fail, that they truly believe they are more apt to tackle the analysis of a global pandemic and its characteristics. Why, why must you all be so stupid. So willfully ignorant. You are arbiters of science, for Christ sake, fucking act like it.
