    What gets me is ‘just a cold’ is still fucking terrifying when it’s new and highly transmissible.

    Remember Zika virus? It causes ‘just a cold’. Barely an inconvenience! …unless you’re pregnant, then your baby is fucked!.

    Imagine if covid turned out to be a teratogen like that.

    Imagine if there wasn’t even a cold - you get it, carry it, spread it, all with no symptoms; then anyone who spent any time around you who gets pregnant pops out a microcephalic baby. Dude, humanity might not recover from that.

    Microbastards are terrifying.
