Meni je i dalje nevjerovatno da neko, kao ti, ima toliko članova porodice koji su imali teže oblike covida i dalje ne shvataju da to nije isto kao sezonska gripa.
Nije sezonska gripa, nego kao jača gripa. Teže simptome je imao moj otac 2017 g. Nema pojma šta je bilo u pitanju, nije testiran bio, izborio se standardnim putem. Mogao je i umrijeti, sam kaže. Da se testira na isti način, dobili bi slične brojke mrtvih i zaraženih. Svake godine to doživi dio stanovništva, ogromni skokovi umrlih se dešavaju svako malo i jedina je razlika u ekstremnoj medijskoj pokrivenosti. Da je zajebana, jeste. Da se treba čuvati, treba, pogotovo stari i bolesni i pretili. Ne znam šta još hoćeš da ti napišem? Da vrištim svakodnevno o ogromnoj opasnosti i da vrtim ukupne brojeve zaraženih i umrlih u komentarima i prepadam ljude smrtovnicama, vjerovatno bih bio prihvatljiviji.

What Is the Difference Between Influenza and COVID-19?
Influenza and the coronavirus disease COVID-19 appear to be very similar. After all, both are respiratory diseases, and they are transmitted via contact with infectious respiratory droplets. Beyond that, however, they differ in important ways. What are some of these differences, and why do they matter?
Causative agent
A more obvious difference between influenza and COVID-19 is in their causative agents. Influenza viruses belong to a virus family known as Orthomyxoviridae. COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2, which is classified in the family Coronaviridae. Both families consist of RNA viruses, but they differ particularly with regard to the protein layer that encapsulates the RNA.
More specifically, influenza viruses express two surface antigens (foreign proteins)—hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N)—which trigger an immune response. The exact form of these antigens changes every now and then, resulting in the periodic emergence of new, more virulent influenza viruses with the potential to cause a pandemic. The surface of SARS-CoV-2 does not have these antigens. Rather, similar to other types of coronaviruses, its outer surface is studded with glycoprotein spikes, which give such viruses a crownlike, or coronal, appearance. Spike glycoproteins are responsible for triggering the immune response, and they carry out the critical function of enabling the coronavirus particle to enter cells, where it then replicates.
