For anyone interested, the Lancet published an interesting article this week entitled Comparing SARS-CoV-2 with SARS-CoV and influenza pandemics

As for me. Any viral infection could trigger my condition. Common Cold or Covid-19. I doubt if I can beat the odds for as long as I would like but I am damn well going to try and I see many more pairs of shoes in my future.


(for anyone who doesn't know me I have a smallish addiction to buying shoes)
I'm sorry to hear that. You are in an even worse position than myself; at least I will be able to have a vaccine when/if one is found.
