I watched an Asian series on Netflix (the series is called 'My Secret Terrius'), and I realized at one point that they were talking about a virus called Corona… And the series is from 2018. The place of me speech is in the tenth episode and first season (from minute 53) if anyone should be interested, please take a look at it ☝🏻…

Otherwise I wish you a nice morning.

For the umpteenth time:

Corona viruses themselves have been known for decades, but the current SARS-CoV-2 virus was first identified in January 2020.

Yes of course.

Every year people die from corona, there are 5 different viruses so far

In 2003 there was also a pandemic with Corona, with the SARS virus.

Corona has been known for much longer.

Corona viruses are not a new virus and have been known for decades. Corona viruses are usually harmless pathogens which cause something like a cold / cold, etc. The current Corona belongs to the same family group, but is titled COVID19.

So-called coronavirus strains existed before Covid 19. Some small children have already developed antibodies against other corona strains, look how little young children and young people have symptoms.

PS: Since the

Did Corona exist before

https://de.wikipedia.org/..._2002/2003 at least, the term "corona virus" has been known to a broader public and has since been used e.g. Also used in television series.

Also in the 2017 Asterix volume "Asterix in Italy" there's a figure called "Coronavirus" in the original French version.

This is not due to antibodies to covid19, but to the fact that adolescents have a good immune system.

Not quite, the current virus is called SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 is the resulting disease. Other than that, you're right.

Mi

The corona virus is an old known one

My reasoning: through the massive deforestation we're getting closer and closer to the animal kingdom and the probability of catching an illness is increasing

Corona viruses are usually harmless pathogens which cause something like a cold / cold, etc.

Except the current SARS-CoV-2 and the SARS-CoV (-1) from 2002/03.

RiaLee has already corrected the name of the new virus.

There are actually 7 members of the Coronaviridae, but that doesn't change your correct (core) statement.

Well, by cutting down the forests, we're wiping out the habitat, the animal kingdom, and there are fewer and fewer animals, so we're not really getting any closer to them.
The transfer from animal to human happens - at least in many cases - through the consumption of the (intermediate) host and has less to do with the coexistence with animals.
