I wonder how novel the attack vector of Covid-19 is, in comparison to other viruses.
HIV slowly kills you, by infecting your blood. But it requires blood contact.
Ebola quickly kills you by liquefying your internal organs, and you die in a hemorrhagic fever. It requires fluidic contact, or maybe via droplets too.
SARS-1 was transmitted via airborne and aerosols.
Covid-19 is airborne, even though they keep saying it’s via droplets.
So, the transmission is very contagious by being airborne. And it hides itself better, meaning not everyone infected will show symptoms, so there can easily be silent spreaders. And for those infected, it won’t show up for a few days, and you can transmit it without know you’re actually infected.
Then, it kills you by slowly wearing you down, until your other organs fail, and you technically die of organ failure.
