A far worse possibility is that it is “just a cold”, but the common coronaviruses that cause the common cold may not be as harmless as we thought.

It took me way too long to realize that you didn’t type “coid”…

What gets me is ‘just a cold’ is still fucking terrifying when it’s new and highly transmissible.

Remember Zika virus? It causes ‘just a cold’. Barely an inconvenience! …unless you’re pregnant, then your baby is fucked!.

Imagine if covid turned out to be a teratogen like that.

Imagine if there wasn’t even a cold - you get it, carry it, spread it, all with no symptoms; then anyone who spent any time around you who gets pregnant pops out a microcephalic baby. Dude, humanity might not recover from that.

Microbastards are terrifying.

Wait, your guys covid didnt magically go away by easter?
