A new #YouTube #video title is vying for the crown as worst ever: "Was #SARS the original #COVID?"
It's asking if Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, #Corona Virus Disease 1 (SARS-CoV-1, COVID 1) was the original of SARS-CoV-2...

#SuddenAcuteRespiratorySyndrome #CoronaVirus #SARSCoV1 #SARSCoV2
Last line. CDC talking about SARS and how it transmits. 2005.
(Tl;dr it was always suspected to be in the air thus SARS-CoV-2 should have been too)

Trump is HORRIBLE no doubt, but the #gaslighting on #sarscov2 is un-f%king-believable
SARS2 shares 79% similarity to #sarscov1 but itβs DEFINITELY no big deal b/c miraculously it mutated to be harmless in <3 years!
Also IF it were actually a #labLeak accidental or otherwise, wouldnβt you try HARDER not to catch it? GOP screams #bioweapon but no caution warranted.. πΆππ
@ToveHarris Because it wasn't as hardy and contagious as #SARSCoV2, people have forgotten the frighteningly high lethality of #SARSCoV1 that hit earlier this century.
I imagine some combination of the two, and shudder.
A single COVID-19 pandemic or multiple SARS pandemics?

"Divergence has reached the point where the currently circulating strains are as distinct from the original 2019 #SARSCoV2 as the latter is from the 2003 #SARSCoV1 virus"
"Nobody expected βΌ10% of the receptor binding domain to mutate in the span of just three short years, and yet that is what happened."
If it was known that #sarscov1 was airborne, why did we start with the assumption that #sarscov2 is not?
From 2008: "Airborne transmission of infectious respiratory diseases in indoor environments has drawn our attention for decades, and this issue is revitalized with the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)."
