[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 4340872, member: 42957"] Coronavirus is one of the viruses that cause illness in numerous animals including humans. It is also carried by various host species without causing morbidity. Although it isn’t as common (as say) the rhinoviruses that cause common colds, it is one of the numerous viruses in the environment in which we are constantly exposed. COVID 19 was not a naturally occurring virus because it was genetically parsed together using elements of other viruses that were far more dangerous with the specific intent of achieving a chimeric pathogen that was able to gain the function of being able to cross over and infect a host that it had not evolved naturally to inhabit. The fact that scientists and medical researchers would even attempt to do this screams madness and bears testimony to their hubris and suggests that they are collaborating with agencies in the shadows that encouraging these activities for nefarious purposes. The course of the virulence of COVID 19 and the degree of morbidity it produced has followed the typical progression of all virus that mutate and impact the living things that they employ as hosts. This is: over time the illnesses they cause becomes less intense. Theoretically, this is believed to be a logical natural response as organisms that requires a host organism to survive and reproduce are disadvantaged if the host dies due to their presence because they die along with it. They appear to seek hosts in which they can coexist like Herpes zoster (varicella-zoster) the pathogen that causes Chicken Pox which is, after the initial course of infection has passed , it goes into hiding (LOL) somewhere in its host only emerging if and when the host’s immune system is stressed and compromised which, in varicella-zoster, can result in the dreaded Shingles!
