what did they call coronavirus in the 60’s? Cause this one is a new one. called covid-19
also, the flu has been common since as long as I can remember with lots of data
I had never heard of coronavirus until late last year with zero data of effects on the publicIn the 60s it was called coronavirus.
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause disease in mammals and birds. Just like “the flu” is a catch all for various strains of flu, and why the flu vaccine only vaccinates against select strains that they predict will be most prevalent in a specific year.Significant specific strains of coronavirus get a fancier name. COVID-19 is this one and stands for COronaVirusDecember-2019. Other ones you might have heard of are SARS-CoV (“sars”)or MERS-CoV.
There have been a few voices calling for a coronavirus vaccine for years, but obviosly it wasnt deemed profitable. There is also is also fear during major bird or swine flu outbreaks because certain versions could possibly transmit to humans.
Just because “you’ve never heard” of something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
While true I hardly seem the purpose of making this point. Unless coronavirus has been killing people since the 60s it’s not relevant to what’s being discussed now.
