But I really don't get the sensationalism from the "hurr durr covid is uniquely dangerous" crowd.
Most of the scary shit "discovered" by the studies is rather stuff we already knew about related viruses; eg the same kind of deregulation of monocytes reported in a regular, "common cold" coronavirus: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17669539/
Really the only thing we should learn from this is that taking flu and colds and everything not-seriously has probably been destroying everyone's quality of life long-term & it is wrong that we usually did nothing to prevent the spread (and especially wrong that we expect sick people to come to work and infect everyone else too)
