See, that's where this gets a little aggravating for me. Every time I try and poke the bear of virology (or immunology, for that matter), someone goes full retard on coronavirus. I'd rather just ignore that, and really look at the state of virology research/knowledge up to Ebola or SARS. I'd want to focus on influenza, perhaps. Or some other illness that has been (mis)characterized as a virus, but has been around for at least several decades. Maybe chicken pox. Which was then also shingles, and now monkey pox. But again, focus on it as chicken pox, and tell me what caused symptoms to seemingly pass from one child to the next.

I could be going at this too hard, but are there even any truly communicable diseases, aside from brain rot and stupidity?
