It should be a matter of personal choice, not mandated by government/media spun up fear mongering. This is my issue with mandatory ppe and shots.
If people choose to wear masks and take shots, that is their choice. If it is as affective as they claim, they should be protected?
Its the part where they are holding your lively hood over your head, like hot dog to a dog asking you to sit, stay...
All for a type of virus that has been on this plant, will be and isn't going away. This madness needs to stop!
Origin
Origins of human coronaviruses with possible intermediate hosts
The
most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all coronaviruses is estimated to have existed as recently as 8000
BCE, although some models place the common ancestor as far back as 55 million years or more, implying long term coevolution with bat and avian species.
[72] The most recent common ancestor of the alphacoronavirus line has been placed at about 2400 BCE, of the betacoronavirus line at 3300 BCE, of the gammacoronavirus line at 2800 BCE, and the deltacoronavirus line at about 3000 BCE. Bats and birds, as
warm-blooded flying vertebrates, are an ideal
natural reservoir for the coronavirus gene pool (with
bats the reservoir for alphacoronaviruses and betacoronavirus – and birds the reservoir for gammacoronaviruses and deltacoronaviruses). The large number and global range of bat and avian species that host viruses have enabled extensive evolution and dissemination of coronaviruses.
[73]
Many human coronaviruses have their origin in bats.
[74] The human coronavirus NL63 shared a common ancestor with a bat coronavirus (ARCoV.2) between 1190 and 1449 CE.
[75] The human coronavirus 229E shared a common ancestor with a bat coronavirus (GhanaGrp1 Bt CoV) between 1686 and 1800 CE.
[76] More recently,
alpaca coronavirus and human coronavirus 229E diverged sometime before 1960.
[77] MERS-CoV emerged in humans from bats through the intermediate host of camels.
[78] MERS-CoV, although related to several bat coronavirus species, appears to have diverged from these several centuries ago.
[79] The most closely related bat coronavirus and SARS-CoV diverged in 1986.
[80] The ancestors of SARS-CoV first infected leaf-nose bats of the genus
Hipposideridae; subsequently, they spread to horseshoe bats in the species
Rhinolophidae, then to
Asian palm civets, and finally to humans.
