CoronaVirus

Someone pointed out that the common cold is a coronavirus. That is true to some extent, some common colds are caused by one of the coronavirus family, but most are caused by the family of rhinovirus.

Covid-19 is caused by SARS-COV-2, which is just as if not more infectious and far more deadly - it’s mortality rate as yet known is much higher than influenza.

Just imagine if we were all allowed to just go on as normal, you caught it and then infected a loved one who then died as a result. How would you feel? I said to someone on another forum who was bleating that he couldn’t go to the pub. Imagine he did, took it home and killed his whole family - it’s pretty selfish and ignorant to think the health and medical experts are wrong.
