Hey everybody Look at the dumbass comparing SARS and MERS to a common cold Both are Coronaviruses...so they are just common colds right? Spanish Flu was literally JUST A FLU No biggie huh You seem to me to be a little confused. You understand that "Human Coronavirus" as you call it, contains four genera - of which beta-coronaviruses are just one. I said there are other human beta-coronaviruses. Some are more host-adapted, amd mild - like HCoV-OC43. SC2, when it was brand-new new, was lab-engineered and extremely pathogenic. But I have watched the spike evolve into Omicron, and a lot of its tricks are now gone. It no longer uses the ACE2/TMPRSS2 route of cell entry. All the Intrinsically Disordered Regions are gone from the spike, lowering it's prion-genic propensity. And, even considering Omicron's huge transmissibility advantage, the bed occupancies (as a hangover of Delta) are falling. Remember also, we are not treating it at all - until near death. |

Importantly, the team showed that patients who recovered from SARS 17 years ago after the 2003 outbreak, still possess virus-specific memory T cells and displayed cross-immunity to SARS-CoV-2. "Our team also tested uninfected healthy individuals and found SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in more than 50 percent of them. This could be due to cross-reactive immunity obtained from exposure to other coronaviruses, such as those causing the common cold, or presently unknown animal coronaviruses. It is important to understand if this could explain why some individuals are able to better control the infection," said Professor Antonio Bertoletti, from Duke-NUS' Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) programme, who is the corresponding author of this study. |

Some people clearly die OF Covid .... they were healthy before, but then they get Covid, and die. Some die "with" Covid ... say, they're in a car accident, they test positive when admitted to the hospital, and then they die of their accident injuries. The problem lies in the middle, which is far less clear-cut. As an example, what about a diabetic, who has their diabetes managed well and is otherwise doing fine. That person gets Covid, and suddenly develops ketoacidosis (though they've never had a problem with that before.) In that case, it's likely that the Covid is what pushed them over the edge. Technically, the ketoacidosis is what killed them, but it wouldn't have happened without the Covid. I used that example because that is one of the things that is happening with both acute Covid and post-Covid patients. There are a LOT of deaths that fall into this middle ground, where Covid seems to have brought about a death that otherwise would not have happened (heart issues, strokes, blood clots, etc. etc.) Looks like freedom but it feels like death.

Some people clearly die OF Covid .... they were healthy before, but then they get Covid, and die. Quoting: Doommonkey Any individual can ASSUME themselves are Healthy. Any individual can ASSUME other people are Healthy. If this was 100 years ago, I would assume everyone is HEALTHY. This is 2022, Not everyone is healthy. According to my resources, the hospitalized of Covid had preexisting comorbidities. If you live with someone and feed them, then you can Assume they are healthy. Otherwise, your above statement is a far far stretch of imagination.

The group of patients with the worst outcomes and most deaths had fewer comorbidities than expected but had higher levels of circulating inflammatory markers than the other three groups.

Now Covid came in to get rid of our the T cell. [link to knowablemagazine.org (secure)] Older adults also have fewer T cells that can respond to new infections or vaccinations. After around the age of 20, we mostly stop making new T cells and rely on keeping existing cells alive, says Goronzy, who studies aging’s effects on T cells. He likens this change to a city losing skilled laborers. Last Edited by whitepiedtv on 01/14/2022 06:59 PM |

Someone with pre-existing conditions fully understands when they need to head their ass to the hospital. And they will be admitted with symptoms that are progressing. Versus Someone that is "healthy" and has "super immune strength" will wait till the last second and most likely find themselves in the ICU. I am seeing patients with preexisting conditions come in with patches of pneumonia. And admitted to recovery floor. A quick look at the records of patients in ICU, they are young coming in with full blown pneumonia and requiring more than just steroid and anti-biotic treatments |
