but quinn over misreading a grammatical structure
🇳🇱
@icedquinn It wasnt about the gramatical structure, it was about the incorrect facts it inferred (which were still incorrect once you corrected your wording).
@icedquinn Either way, your statement was incorrect.. there is no meaningful link between SAr-COV-2 and the common cold
hold on a minute, coronaviruses are known to cause around 30% of common cold symptoms. this is well known for a long time. check your facts
You might be able to find some studies out there that would estimate closer to 30%, there is certainly some variability in the numbers.. But no, 15% is the most commonly cited figure.
Here are two different sources bot of which confirm the 15% figure I cited:

at any rate, human coronavirus are regarded as a common cold virus.
Like i said, the value is an approximate so you will see higher and lower numbers, so I dont doubt youll find some 30% figures. But even as you point out, thats on the fringe high end of estimates.
And yea your perfectly find in saying that coronavirus class viruses (unrelated to THE coronavirus however) causes a minority of cold cases. Though as I pointed out the Rhinovirus class is the most common cause of colds at 30% - 80%.
