LIE: We don't know much about coronavirus.
This is one of the media's favorite lies. It is much scarier if it is unknown. We know that coronavirus is a zoonotic disease. In other words, it's natural hosts are birds and animals as opposed to humans. We vaccinate domestic animals for them. We know that four forms cause colds every year. We know it mutates and evolves just like the flu. We know it sometimes becomes deadly as it has in SARS and MERS. We have done medical studies on coronavirus as a coexisting illness in patients in the past.
