It's worse, he can't even tell an extremely common seasonal virus from the completely different virus that's been talked about for the last year. On the internet. Where he chose to speak authoritatively about something he didn't understand, despite the fact that 5 seconds in a search engine could have disabused him of that misconception - had he even known enough to know he *might* be wrong. -

Experts are sometimes wrong, yes. I don't see what this has to do with the fact that influenza viruses and coronaviruses are different things. Just admit you did a dumb in saying that "the common flu is a coronavirus". It's okay to make mistakes. Even the experts do it. -

2021-04-07 at 2:37 AM UTC in We are living in the era of stupidShit now that there's 4 of these little fuckers we should probably change the definition of what constitutes a planet, else we're going to end up with a solar system that contains an absurd number of planets, 99% of which are going to be dwarf elves.

It's not a planet, it's a dwarf... something or other. I'm pretty sure there's another word that comes after "dwarf". Shit... what was it? -

And?
Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Alexa… what is the difference between coronavirus and influenza?
COVID-19 and influenza viruses have a similar disease presentation. That is, they both cause respiratory disease, which presents as a wide range of illness from asymptomatic or mild through to severe disease and death.
Secondly, both viruses are transmitted by contact, droplets and fomites. As a result, the same public health measures, such as hand hygiene and good respiratory etiquette (coughing into your elbow or into a tissue and immediately disposing of the tissue), are important actions all can take to prevent infection.
The speed of transmission is an important point of difference between the two viruses. Influenza has a shorter median incubation period (the time from infection to appearance of symptoms) and a shorter serial interval (the time between successive cases) than COVID-19 virus. The serial interval for COVID-19 virus is estimated to be 5-6 days, while for influenza virus, the serial interval is 3 days. This means that influenza can spread faster than COVID-19.
And..?
Would you like to revise your "the common flu is a coronavirus" statement at all? -

Originally posted by Data Three is a bit retarded. Idk what you'd do with three screens. That's neck moving horizontalism and I don't approve of anything physical in front of the computer
3 is purely for gayming. As humans are a predatory species which evolved forward facing eyes to better track our prey, and many of the popular games of our era revolve around stimulating our primal predatory urges, it's very common for important things to be happening in the center of our screen/directly in front of us. Splitting a game across only 2 screens makes the center of the game's field-of-view get split across the bezels of both monitors. Not conducive to good hunting. Make caveman brain sad. 3 monitors means you can see straight forward and your peripheral vision is split across the other two monitors. Make caveman brain happy to see prey directly in front of you. -

Says the person whose ancestors genocided mine. Sorry, but your homo sapiens sapiens privilege apparently prevents you from understanding the real damage and harm you've caused. -

Originally posted by Kev except the fatality of the spanish flu was 2-5%, the fatality rate of covid19 is 0.1%, the same as the common flu. if you are under the age of 60 with no pre existing conditions, your chances of dying from it are practically zero. its literally another harmless flu, nothing to freak out about let alone destroy the entire country over.
Sure. So say that "coronavirus is no more dangerous than seasonal flu, as demonstrated by these statistics". Not "the common flu is also a coronavirus", or "influenza isn't caused by influenza". Don't be a retard. -

Originally posted by Kev thats the entire point. covid19 is not dangerous, it is interchangeable with any other bad seasonal flu. remember the swine flu? no lunatic freakout then.
That's a terrible way of making the point. "Occasionally, a coronavirus has been known to cause mild flu-like symptoms" does not mean "coronaviruses are incapable of being more dangerous than the average seasonal flu". In fact, it's especially fucking stupid to draw the comparison between the two to prove this point in particular, because Spanish flu was famously awful. If coronaviruses and influenza viruses are basically the same, what this comparison actually demonstrates is that one shouldn't underestimate coronavirus' capacity for causing devastating illnesses. Which is also a fucking stupid way to demonstrate that point, but somehow marginally less stupid than the completely contradictory one you were trying to make using exactly the same information.

2021-04-06 at 5:57 PM UTC in We are living in the era of stupidIt's like saying 15% of attacks by monkeys are committed by gorillas. It's fucking stupid. It's actually less stupid to attribute monkey attacks to gorillas - monkeys and gorillas are at least members of the same order and phylum.

2021-04-06 at 5:50 PM UTC in We are living in the era of stupidA coronavirus can cause "flu-like symptoms". Lots of viruses can. A coronavirus can't cause an influenza infection... because it's a coronavirus, not an influenza virus. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Influenza is the name of the disease caused by influenza viruses, which coronaviruses are not. Colloquially, it might be okay to say "I've got the flu" when in reality you have a coronavirus infection. Technically speaking, saying "the common flu is a coronavirus" is fucking retarded.
