Absolutely. One of the worst.

Agreed. 99% of the time I have no idea what he is talking about, just a compilation of scary, novel & scientific words with no actual meaning & zero scientific sense. Interestingly, people rt things they don’t fully understand.

but its true that covid should not be dismissed as if it will definitely have the same end result as other coronaviruses. It is not the same due to the FCS for example.

HCoV-OC43 & HCoV-HKU1 have one as well. as do like half of all human virus fusion proteins. it's about as far from unusual as you can get.

sure, but the presence of a furin cleavage motif at the SARS-CoV-2 S1–S2 interface is highly unusual and RRAR is unique in the family

You need to read the tweets again. An FCS is not unusual, but this type and placement is very unusual.

The point is that it is not right to assume that this virus will end up like a common cold just because other coronaviruses did. Do you agree with that?

Pointing out pandemics end is not a precise prediction about the severity or the timeline of the endemic phase. If nothing else there will be a large number of people who were never exposed to it as children—I haven’t seen strong consensus on how that will play out.

I just don't find it credible to assume that we will keep reliving 2020-2021 even after ~everyone is infected or vaccinated. I personally expect to get COVID in my lifetime, perhaps many times, and mentally think of *future* version as a flu-like risk: will be worse when older.

In Jan-Mar of 2020, I was begging friends, journalists and others to stop saying "what about the flu"—a *novel* virus is a whole other ballgame regardless. Sometime ~2022 onward, that will change. More than common cold less than flu is not an unlikely scenario imo: but we'll see.
