Great straightforward report about what Corvid 19 actually does to you, and about how our knowledge is still evolving. AC receptors are the virus's main avenue apparently. Seems to be more than just a worse version of a cold or flu. Can attack specific organs. Scarier even than I thought before. Gets a little bit too jargon laden towards the end, but a good lecture for all us lay folks nonetheless.

That's "CoViD" -- short for Corona Virus Disease.  The word you used ("Corvid") is a reference to crows, jays, magpies, and ravens.

This is not the "Bird Flu".

Well that settles it, I’m never leaving the house again.
