I wonder if in the 500+ years from now version of this story, people will just treat SARS as the major plague of the 21st century, not differentiating the 2002 outbreak and the 2020 one, kind of like the compression we do with our historical epidemics.

It doesn’t have a grain of truth to it, because AIDS isn’t a virus so it can’t “cross” with SARS into anything.

I don't think it was meant as a literal cross, but more a cross between the worst aspects of each, as if it were tailor made to be hard to kill.

I read the comments and a LOT of other epidemiologists are skeptical, both on the methodology (they used *cancer* T-cells and a simulated virus with HIV components, if I read it right) and correlation/causation (most serious infections lower T-cells)

And given that this is mutating into people reposting saying that the article literally says that SARS-COVID-2 will leave people permanently immunocompromised until death (it won't and even these researchers say so) I feel like caution is advisable
