What are they not telling us about the virus?

How many different viruses are there out there?

There are 20 different types of flu virus

Coronavirus is an old and storied virus. It has many variations, just off the top of my head there is:
•Human Coronavirus (the ol' “Common Cold”)
•Bovine Rota-Coronavirus
•Bovine Beta-Coronavirus
•Canine Coronavirus
•SARS-Cov
•MERS-Cov (Camel Coronavirus)
•SARS-Cov-2 (CoVid19, the current bastard)

There is more, and that's just Corona virus, never mind the multiple Influenza virus variants and other viruses that we are largely immune to.

This is simple. The virus starts out as an upper respiratory infection, commonly.

The problem with a virus, is that you have to envision it as tiny little rna injectors. The virus injects a cell with bad rna, taking it over and causing it to produce more injectors.

The real problem arises when the body tries to fight it off, its only means of doing so is by killing the infected cells.

And thus is the secondary method a virus uses to kill you. If it doesn't cause pneumonia in covids case, the next worse outcome is overwhelming infection. This can really become a problem with endocarditis, or an infection of the inner lining of the the heart. This forces the immune system to attack the heart, and kill cells which can lead to a while slew of problems.

But anyhoo, because it starts as an upper respiratory infection, the virus can attack the olfactory sensors in the nose. Your body has no choice but to destroy the olfactory sensors, and you may permanently lose your sense of smell. The same goes for your tongue and taste buds.

Ultimately, it depends on the immune response of the host. If it's delayed, severe infection can occur before the body can slow it down, and thus, large numbers of cells must be destroyed and disposed of.

This is also why Covid can cause pink sputum in pneumonial cases.
It infects the lungs, particularly the alveoli, which has blood coursing throlugh/around them. The body is forced to destroy large portions of the alveoli, which can cause blood to leak into the airways of the lungs.

So in short, don't fucking catch Covid.

Everything

>runny nose
>can't smell
>smell and taste are strictly correlated because of anatomy
>can't taste
Retardation 101.

That's fucking haunting, leaf

Wow. So it's basically the common cold.

Jesus, it's like we'll never see the end of this.

think i had this in December then

my taste came back

had the fan on and window open all the way through December
felt like I was breathing in sauna
no apatite
couldn't taste everything smelled like burning rubber, lost 18lb by Christmas
would lightly hallucinate, either because of fever or not eating

other anons where complaining about a weird flu also

my bed was soaked with sweat after a few days and had to constantly wash it
