@douglaspynn @petergleick I think the problem is that #SARSCoV2 #covid just isn't deadly enough. If it were as deadly as #SARSCoV1 #SARS , prople might be more careful, but then again, the virus wouldn't spread as easily because it would be running out of hosts. Nobody really knows how many people have permanent damage from Covid, nobody really knows how many people are suffering from the chronic illnesses in the #LongCovid / #PostCovid category, many people who had Covid have taken some degree of permanent damage and don't even know, and when it hits them months, years, or maybe decades later, they won't even know that Covid is to blame.

Trump is HORRIBLE no doubt, but the #gaslighting on #sarscov2 is un-f%king-believable

SARS2 shares 79% similarity to #sarscov1 but it’s DEFINITELY no big deal b/c miraculously it mutated to be harmless in <3 years!

Also IF it were actually a #labLeak accidental or otherwise, wouldn’t you try HARDER not to catch it? GOP screams #bioweapon but no caution warranted.. 😶😐🙄

A single COVID-19 pandemic or multiple SARS pandemics?

"Divergence has reached the point where the currently circulating strains are as distinct from the original 2019 #SARSCoV2 as the latter is from the 2003 #SARSCoV1 virus"

#SARS2 #COVID19

#SARSCoV2, like #SARSCoV1, is both a respiratory and a systemic virus, with an extremely broad cell type and tissue tropism covering nearly the whole body. The consequence is that it causes damage to a wide range of human organs and systems. Lungs, hearts, kidneys, cardiovascular systems, and nearly everything else one can think of are well documented to be susceptible to lasting damage as a result of #COVID19

@ZeroCovidColin
In #November it was 300+ #mutations #variants but now I believe that’s reached 600+ 🤯

I cannot stop thinking about the 15🐭mutation #SARSCoV1 study

Never realized my willingness to be wrong (albeit sometimes happens while kicking & screaming) was actually a survival mechanism & maybe the one trait that makes me above average intelligent

There’s stubborn, & there’s STUBBORN… #bananas 🍌

#SARS2 Researchers identify a new entryway into cells for virus causing #COVID19

"Previous studies have shown that #SARSCoV2 as well as an earlier coronavirus, #SARSCoV1, the virus behind the #SARS outbreak in 2003, enter cells via two distinct pathways. The new research led by Dr. Côté's lab shows a third entry route.

This viral entryway involves metalloproteinases, enzymes in the body with a catalytic mechanism that requires a metal, such as zinc atoms, to function."
