None of them are the same family as other viruses which cause the common cold.

I doubt the top epidemiologists are spreading myths.

The "unusual" cases where covid is causing death might not be enough, no. The fact that it causes people to stay at home however could be.

So… the new goalpost is, “top epidemiologist say that there is a pattern of common-cold-viruses to get milder with time”?

Do any of them have names? (Either the viruses or the epidemiologists)

And that’s supposedly because… these common cold viruses were just too quick to kill their victims, at first?
