What about a guy who donated to a sperm bank a while back?

In this day and age, you can be stone-cold dead and pass on your genes

All I'm saying is let diseases run their course.

Yeah, that's something else, and I basically agree that's the likely outcome in this case.. we can do what we want against this disease, but eventually it's probably going to kill all the people it was going to kill.

After all, we still don't have a vaccine for SARS-CoV, and that outbreak started in 2002

I did some personal research about "Coronaviruses" and was surprised to discover:

  • 1. In any given year, up to 33% of cases of the common Cold are caused Cronaviruses and not the traditional Rhinoviruses.
  • 2. Scientists have known about Coronaviruses since 1930 and they've been studying them in humans since the 1960s

This is nothing new that we have... There's always been a multitude of Cold viruses and there will never be a cure for the common Cold. So... In my opinion we should just cut the crap and get on with living our lives.

I'm not disagreeing with any of that post, just to be clear... It's definitely correct, I was just saying that "survival of the fittest" is something that's often misused..

This virus may not be defeatable in any traditional sense, and that's something we'll have to live (or die) with

I appreciate you taking the time to actually respond, so I could explain myself.. it's already more than most people on Reddit do

You're also right about the "common cold" being sometimes caused by coronaviruses and not rhinoviruses these days, I've heard that myself, which also surprised me, because I'd been taught the cold was a rhinovirus

The common cold is a coronavirus. There's also a few other strains of coronavirus, one of which is pretty lethal for older people. Covid-19 is a new coronavirus. It is new. To say covid-19 isn't new because the common cold is a coronavirus too is like saying a cold sore and genital herpes are the same since they're both herpesvirus. Covid-19, or SARS-Cov-2, is more closely related to SARS than the common cold and we can all be massively relieved it isn't as lethal. Though SARS wasn't nearly as infectious.

New or old. It wasn't any worse than the flu or the common cold.
