- JamisonM 6y agoThis is a confusing series of statements, what do you mean?
- qaz_plm 6y agoSounds like they're saying Coronaviruses aren't a new thing, just that new types pop up. The CDC lists human Coronaviruses were first found in the mid-1960s [0] [0] - https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/types.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/types.html
