Probably because our education system failed to teach the Zomblings that Colds cause pnemonia too?? So now that you discovered over 50 Cold viruses cause pneumonia what you gonna do? Go to Disneyland? Buy some TP? Even bacteria can cause pneumonia.... It's a symptomatic condition not a pathogen. Pathogens can cause all sorts of random conditions. Omg do I have to teach everyone two years of Biology basics?

I also think it was to late to bug out five years ago.
And bug out to where I wonder. What place could any of us reach in a reasonable fashion that would not already be populated ''outbuggers'' who bugged out a year ago or a decade ago. Where would a bugger go that would suit someone who could afford to bug out with reasonable expectations of any form of a life worth living.
No, bugging out now would only be an irrational attempt to flee what is coming.

Yes, it's a version of the same virus that includes the common cold, but that's like Hefficide said, a tabby and an african lion are same species that doesn't mean they are both lovable little felines?

It's not just the common cold but like i said in my post, it's not the apocalypse either, and I haven't been brain washed into wanting this??
Where are your links and evidence to this just being the common cold?

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

Is this sarcasm? If not, the irony is as thick as Joey Behars ass.

DERP! You forgot to include the next paragraph:
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
It's a bit more dangerous than the common cold, but it's also not like the Black Plaque. Stop downplaying it, you're just as bad as the media who are hyping it to be something it's not.
On average, adults get 4 to 6 colds per year, while children get 6 to 8 of them. Colds cause about 500 FP visits per 1000 patients per year.1 Because colds occur all year round, the total burden of illness caused by them is greater than the burden caused by seasonal influenza. Colds account for 40% of all time lost from jobs and 30% of all absenteeism from school.2
There are more than 200 viruses, continuously changing, that are associated with the common cold; coronaviruses are generally associated with more severe symptoms than are rhinoviruses.
A British study of people older than 60 years of age who had colds was able to isolate a causative virus in only 43% of patients,3 and Finnish researchers were able to isolate viruses from 138 of 200 university students with colds.4 Colds occur all year round but are more common in the winter months.2,5
The “flu” has become a popular catch-all term to describe anything from a bad cold to stomach distress. But the real flu, influenza, is a defined illness that many public health officials dread most.

Hollywood producers, knowing what sells, make those movies.
Horror films have always been money makers.
The Pentagon is not in the movie or influencer business.
A year ago we featured a detailed report by authors Tom Secker and Matthew Alford exposing just how vast the Pentagon and CIA programs for partnering with Hollywood actually are, based on some 4,000 new pages of formerly classified archived documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
