It’s flu season but it’s not the flu - Prince Albert Daily Herald “The superfluous,” said Voltaire, the French philosopher, “is a very necessary thing.” Alas, his thinking predated our understanding of the norovirus. The norovirus is one of the most common viruses on the planet – yet it seems to be doing nothing useful, let alone necessary. It’s just making hundreds of millions of people worldwide sick

Thread by @RealCheckMarker on Thread Reader App @RealCheckMarker: Let's set the record straight on ORF8! There's virologists venturing beyond their expertise, spewing wild nonsense about ORF8 in SARS-CoV w/o having a grasp of bacteria or ribosomes....

HCoVs reproduction is flawed.
The virion assembly process is unbalanced because the polyprotein reproduction process occurs in the cytoplasm instead of the nucleus. All viruses that reproduce in the cytoplasm use host ribosome hijacking abilities.

Any questions?

Flu season lasts about 3 months. In 2018-19 Flu Season, about 34,000 people died of it. About 1/2 million were hospitalized.
In 6 months, over 175,000 have died of COVID-19. More than 4 million hospitalized.
Even if you divide by 2 (3 vs 6) this COVID is #NotTheFlu

Catching #CoronaVirus #COVID19 is #NotTheFlu, folks.☣️

It's a NEW virus and we do NOT know the range of effects it has on humans. As Sheri's post shows, those can be DEADLY and life-changing.
