I think it is fascinating that it is theorized that the "Russian flu" outbreak in the 19th century that killed a million people... was a bovine coronavirus that jumped to humans and is now just a harmless common cold virus. Started out very lethal, now harmless. sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
