OK, smartypants, this Corona virus strain is like the common cold, since strains of the coronavirus are the common cold.

Do you know the difference between a Coronavirus and a Rhinovirus? I thought not. Rhinovirus is the common cold. It’s a different “model.”

Also, you completely missed the point.

The hospitals are full...as they are every year. If we dropped several tens of thousands of cases of ANYTHING on them, there will be problems.

That, singular issue, will cause disruption.

I am NOT saying anyone is going to die. I AM saying, in some hospitals they will be treating people in the conference rooms.

There is simply not enough capacity to handle anything out of the norm these days. Hospitals are not sitting there with open beds.

Where is the vaccine for the common cold? I don't expect you to be able to answer, it just seemed like a good place to put the question out there.

It’s also like SARS or MERS, since those are also strains of coronavirus.

However the Coronavirus in question may be a different strain.
