The common cold and the influenza virus have chosen that method to not go extinct. Most viruses do not mutate like that. If this virus is man-made it will almost certainly die out. Even if not it will almost certainly die out.Show me studies that the coronavirus mutates annually in bats in caves and I will worry a bit more My guess is you have had 20 viruses that never return for every cold virus you’ve had. You just never noticed them

<<Funnily, the two years during Covid is the only time in my life that I have not had a cold.>> Yep, that seems to be a world wide experience. The stats seem to show that, but would the mindless government stats fiddlers and corporate liars even bother to test for common cold while they can say its "Covid" ? I mean we have people killed from auto accidents marked down as "Covid" so why not those who died of the common cold? Historically most people died of the "common cold". The most losts days from work have been due to the "common cold", back pain being the second biggest category. But we also have my personal experience to confirm otherwise here. The common cold seems to have been absent for the last two years. I was hoping it was because I was taking Vitamin D every day. Always the optimist me -g- I wonder what the insurance stats are saying these days ? Are there lots of Life Insurance payouts due to the huge Covid death rates? Is it worth following the money on this one ?

The closer a virus is to a virus that you have had before the better your immune system responds. The goes for the common cold and for Covid -19. Try living on island by yourself for 20 years (IE give the common cold 20 years to mutate) and then come back to civilization and catch the common cold and you will see that your immune was working against the common cold as expected all along. Just as it will against Covid-19. It has already been proven by studies that people exposed to SARS-CoV (circa 2003) have some natural protection to Covid-19 coming from their immune system memory and that their natural protection lasted the 15+ years since the SARs outbreak. Also it was theorized early in Covid-19 that based on the SARS data that natural immune protection from Covid-19 would be similar (IE lasting 15+ years). Now that theory is being proven slowly as time passes, but no way to know 100% for sure for 15 years. But so far the theory stands as it has already been proven that natural immunity is more durable than the vaccines which only lasts 3-6 months. My 50 year brother was fully vaccinated and was about to get a booster, then he caught covid-19, and now he has natural immunity. Now he is likely good for at least 15 years instead of maybe 6 months. Meanwhile everyone else keep taking your boosters 3, then 4, then 5, then 6, etc. (2 a year until covid-19 breaks through the shite vaccine or they die). I am sure Pfizer appreciates the customer loyalty. <G>
