In terms of the common cold, there are many sources for it. People think it is a virus, but I don't know what it is because they have never properly isolated it. They need a stronger microscope or something, and we need actual footage of the process that is being undertaken wherein the cells are being destroyed or broken down by the pathogen.
I don't know what he was, he was since divorced and is not around for family functions (but then again neither am I). All I know is, if I was asked the first question "is it an animal?" I would have said yes. And if the person next to me said "no" I would have asked a clarifying question like "did you think he asked "am I a mammal?"
There exist known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Masks, the clot shot are known knowns but remain unacceptable as such but many, far too many. With viruses, I think we are dealing with a known unknown passed off as a known known. Our education teaches us that we know many things that we simply do not. How does a bumblebee fly? Our knowledge dictates that it can’t. Body too big, wings too small, to simply the problem. Yet fly it does.
I did not learn turbine law or Cole’s Law on turbines in propulsion engineering basics, we learned turbine theory. Yep, the is, or at has not been a law discovered on how turbines actually work. In short, we do not know how turbines work. However, we have a pretty good idea of how the work, good enough to successfully, build, operate maintain and improve them. But we do not know.
Some subatomic particles were known to exist before we could actually see them. We may still be unable to do so, IDK. While they could not be seen, scientists knew they existed because they could observe their influence on theming they could see. In at least one case, they were able to see its shadow. So, they know something is there and they know something of it interactions with other things, but little else.
These are a few examples of many I have of stumbled across. The only ones that come to mind off the top of my head. The bumblebee one I first heard from my dad when I was a child. I thought he was full of it. As an adult I read of studies into how this animal can fly that found nothing conclusive. Oh, there is another related to my time in the navy p, well here it is. I wasn’t going to because it will be long, but why not.
We had two liquid oxygen/ liquid nitrogen (lox/lin) production plants on my carrier. One was High Pressure and the other low pressure, HP and LP respectively. The HP plant used refrigerant to help cool the air down, the LP did not. While both worked upon rapid expansion of compressed air to achieve liquification, the LP did not use Freon to cool the air. It used gasseous air in the coolant loop to cool product air from gas’s to liquid. Pause. In the LP plant, air cools air and the cooled air comes out liquid air. That’s like using chilled water to freeze other water to ice while remaining water. How does this work. It was a riddle we pondered for many months until a tech rep visited. When he was in the LP plant word was passed and we all mustered there for the question to put to him. He laughed and asked us how we thought it was possible. We had an answer but it did not make sense given what else we knew about fluid dynamics, heat exchange and the like but it was the only unknown, the only unmetered parameter, so it some how had to be the answer. He laughed again and said they, the people who designed and built the things, did not know but suspect the same as we did. I would love to learn how it was found that we can cool down air to liquidation using gaseous air as the coolant.
Thus, the fact that a virus has yet to be isolated is not the big deal many believe it to be. The lack of observations of virally spread disease spreading to people cohabitating with the ill is more of an issue, IMHO. If this lack is as reported, then someone has some answering to do. Given all else we have been lied to about and that it does look like not only are observations of virally spread disease diseases spreading, which could be attributed to the different health conditions of the ill and those around them prior to the first getting infected, and the historical record indicating these diseases already in full retreat from improved hygiene when the vaccines first came into use, I am open to them not existing or existing but not the cause of the diseases they are blamed for. For me, there remain too many unknowns to say one way or the other. The problem is that these unknowns have been known by those pushing vaccination as they told us they were no unknowns.
Beyond all this, is the tendency for people to get angered and or end friendships over unknowns. Masks are known. There is probably not another health related item that has been trialed, tested, studied especially for as long, over a century, than surgical masks. The fact that they are not benign and are likely the cause for the covid like symptoms of many, I would argue that this may be a topic worthy of causing distrust and loss or respect for mad maskers. Given that they were mandated, same with the clot shots. Too much remains unknown or unverified for this over viruses, again, IMHO. It is sad that you may have lost a friend over this.
This seems to also be a part of another issue. Many demand that those they associate with agree 100% on everything or at least so on certain topics. While many agree with my stances against masks and the clot shots, they are angered I do not promote the idea that there are no such things as viruses. It, of courses happens the other way as your friend demonstrates.
As an aside, I am enjoying lunch at a Tex Mex joint near my new school. I have just seen the second western make enter wearing a mask. I have seen two unmasked, making 3/5 unmasked western men to enter the restaurant including myself. It seems about the same with the local population.
All I can call it these days is ‘tiny particle’. When I hear the nonsense people go on about getting ‘bugs’, I’m like No, a bug is is an insect!

But an ant is an animal.
That guy, the ringleader and arbiter of all things, was no doubt a ped-ant!
