[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 2200459, member: 2550"] Very interesting Spata. The Coronavirus has been around a looooong time, the cool thing about it is that it's an RNA based virus...won't go into detail and bore everyone. This virus infects a lot of mammals and birds and if I remember correctly there are a few specific "farm" and "barnyard" diseases to these animals. I think the Coronavirus does cause a lot..not all...but a lot of the common colds we catch...the other most common one for colds is the Rhinovirus. The neat and interesting thing about viruses is that they usually mutate and change...perplexing us poor humans as to what will be next years most dominant common cold so we can try to make a quick vaccine. What strikes me is I wonder if this virus has "crossed over" from avian to human...basically mutated, or as nature allows mutated and strengthened on its own..hmm? I seem to remember reading that back in 2011 or 2012 there was a new Coronavirus found in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Those crazy nit-wits over there might be playing and formulating a new biological weapon...who knows? I've always thought if and only if, North Korea attacks the South they'd do some type of chemical or biological weapon first. You know, dirty bomb, suit cases planted around the larger cities. Viruses to me are fascinating little critters!!! Just my 2 cents. Cool!!! [/QUOTE]
