I don't know how you establish that all people suffering from a new disease are infected with the same organism unless and until you first establish there is only one disease. How do you exclude the possiblity that there are two or more diseases?

"How do you exclude the possiblity that there are two or more diseases?"
The Koch's postulate should prove the corona virus is the culprit but the idea of another virus causing the same severe symptomsis intriguing(and diabolical!)
I know my intuition has pestered me from the start when they were picking up bits of other viruses and bacteria that some sort of symbiosis was going on. Maybe SARS rapidly debilitates(fast AIDs someone described it) to the point of allowing secondary viral infection(and that is odd) or bacterial(more common.)
If it is a real naturally evolving viral symbiosis then the mutations should gradually allow for the host(that's us folks)to survive at greater % until there is no mortality as this bug continues.
Of course it might decimate our country before it gets to that point.
