I know it's correct but nobody says 'rhinovirus' instead of 'a cold' for example I think it's because the virus already exists years ago. COVID-19 is a more specific name for the new strain of the virus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's correct but nobody says 'rhinovirus' instead of 'a cold' for example Because there are like 6 different strains of coronavirus. 4 of them are very mild, like a cold. So you can test positive for coronavirus but not have COVID-19. COVID-19 is a more severe strain, most comparable to SARS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 And only a few days ago we had users here on different Coronavirus threads saying that nobody should panic. Those fools are the ones who likely spread the infection around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
