BTW; In a serious note; Should we be concerned about the growing virulence and contagion of diseases?
Of course.
Should we also trust the health organizations and medical pros that are "in the field" with these diseases to be doing good things to control them?
Of Course!!
Here's a synopsis for those who are upset that I'm "joking" about serious diseases;
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can infect humans or animals
. Sometimes an animal coronavirus can change so that it can infect people and become a human coronavirus.
There are seven known types of human coronaviruses. Four types (229E, NL63, OC43, and KHU1) are common and cause mild to moderate respiratory infections, like the common cold.
Yes....the common cold is in the CoronaVirus group.
Two types, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), can cause severe respiratory infections.
The seventh type (2019-nCoV) is a new coronavirus recently discovered in China. Public health officials are trying to learn more about this new virus and the infection it causes.
This one has a mortality rate between 2 and 6%...which is pretty high for "colds".
...and mutations happen quickly...so it could strengthen.
SO
