SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus, but it's not a strain of MERS which also is (or was) coronavirus.

A novel influenza A virus is one that has caused human infection, but is different from current seasonal human influenza A viruses that circulate among people. Novel influenza A viruses are usually influenza A viruses that circulate among animals.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by mattster View PostIt is not an entirely new class of viruses, but no one is suggesting that. What are you even talking about?

Originally posted by malvolio View PostCertainly in the UK they are counting people who die with a positive Covid test as being killed by Covid. Reality is rather different and many of the "Covid" deaths are down to other chronic causes, not least of which obesity and/or old age and the concomitant reduced immune responses, not helped by having a serious lung infection of course.
And vaccines don't save lives, they just postpone your inevitable death.Leave a comment:

Well no, it's not, it's a lot more complicated but I'm not going to try to argue why. It's not a novel virus either, it's just another strain of Coronavirus (hence "19").Leave a comment:
