How long has corona virus been around?


Mar 13, 2020, 7:21 AM

Since this is virus is labelled COVID-19

Doesn't that mean that there were 18 previous strains known
before this one got released or mutated into this form?

Seems like its been around before.

In this case the 19 refers to 2019 but apparently Dr Oz's pal who has thrown everyone into panic mode has been studying this virus 40+ years.

we've known about viruses. This one was probably created a few years ago:

While i don't know much about the validity of this website, the map in the article is pretty crazy. The seafood market is a little over a half mile as the crow flies from the bio facility in question. Pretty fishy (pun intended).

The common cold is a coronavirus. This current strain is just a mutation that attacks the respiratory system. So yes, coronavirus has been around pretty much forever.

it is not a mutated cold, that is absolutely false.

Yes there are many strands of corona virus.

Not all of them infect humans.

This one does and is doing so in a way that is different (better in some ways and worse in some ways) from any that we have seen before.

It's the unknown aspects of this virus that has people taking such extreme measures.

different coronaviruses. Think of it kind of like an animal family such as felines. Within that family you have lions, tigers, domestic cats, etc.

Some coronaviruses cause the common cold while others are more serious. SARS and MERS are both coronaviruses. COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that was discovered late last year in 2019 (hence the -19 tag).

If I'm not mistaken these viruses are cold "corona" viruses because corona is latin for "crown" and the distinguishing features of coronoviruses under a microscope are protrusions that reminded scientists of the spikes on a crown.

Somebody please correct me if any of that is wrong.

If you read the back of a Lysol wipes container, coronavirus is listed on the label.....been around for a bit. This one has been tampered with.
