COVID is SARS-CoV-2, a variety of the Coronavirus which is one of two viruses which cause the common cold.

The flu is caused by the Influenza virus, a different species from the two cold viruses, and most adults can recognize when they have flu because the symptoms are different.

Yes, most vaccines are unnecessary, but it has nothing to do with virus species.

HCQ is a BROAD SPECTRUM anti-viral and anti-parasitic which will kill many virus species and many protist species like the parasite that causes malaria. In fact, there are a lot of other ways to fill most viruses and parasites.

The root problem is that people have become fixated on using snipers to solve a problem that could be solved by police foot patrols. During the respiratory illness season, you could take more Vitamin C and Zinc, and a cold/flu remedy and some black elderberry. That's like regular police patrols.

Or you could select one virus species out of many and create a vaccine for it which is like training a sniper to kill one type of bad guy. The sniper method works, but people will die before he gets to the scene. And when a new bad guy shows up, the sniper is useless because he doesn't know how to target him.

Stupid ASSumptions do not help us in this fight. We must use logic, find evidence, and demonstrate that we are smarter and more knowledgeable than the paper experts.

A de facto standard is a custom or convention that has achieved a dominant position by public acceptance or market forces (for example, by early entrance to the market). De facto is a Latin phrase that means in fact (literally by or from fact) in the sense of "in practice but not necessarily ordained by law" or "in practice or actuality, but not officially established", as opposed to de jure.

The term de facto standard is used in contrast with obligatory standards (also known as "de jure standards"); or to express the dominant voluntary standard, when there is more than one standard available for the same use.

In social sciences, a voluntary standard that is also a de facto standard is a typical solution to a coordination problem.[1] The choice of a de facto standard tends to be stable in situations in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. In contrast, an enforced "de jure standard" is a solution to the prisoner's problem.

A selection of well-known and illustrative examples of de facto and de jure standards are:

with consolidation by tradition of use:

The driver's seat side in a given country starts as a user/industry preference, turning to a local tradition, then a traffic code local norm.

The QWERTY system was one of several options for the layout of letters on typewriter (and later keyboard) keys. It was developed to prevent adjacent keys from jamming on early and later mechanical typewriters, often attributed to the typist's speed.[2] It became a de facto standard because it was used on the most commercially successful early typewriters and is now used on devices which have no moving parts such as touchscreens.

The MP3 audio format started as an alternative to WAV for Internet music distribution, then replaced it — it is now supported by the vast majority of music players, audio transport, audio storage and noncommercial media. WAV and MP3 are also "de jure ISO formats".

with consolidation by uniqueness and efficiency:

HTML (computer file format) started as "de facto" (1993-1995) and became the "de jure" standard (1995–present day).

PDF (computer file format) was first created in 1993 by Adobe. Adobe internal standards were part of its software quality systems, but they were neither published nor coordinated by a standards body. With the Acrobat Reader program available for free, and continued support of the format, PDF eventually became the de facto standard for printable documents. In 2005, PDF/A became a de jure standard as ISO 19005-1:2005.[3] In 2008 Adobe's PDF 1.7 became ISO 32000-1:2008.[4][5]

Examples of long-time de facto but never de jure standards (for computer file formats):

AutoCAD DXF: a de facto ASCII format for import and export of CAD drawings and fragments in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2000s, XML based standards emerged as de facto standards.

Microsoft Word DOC (over all other old PC word processors): one of the best known de facto standards. Due to the market dominance of Word, it is supported by all office applications that intend to compete with it, typically by reverse engineering the undocumented file format. Microsoft has repeatedly internally changed the file specification between versions of Word to suit their own needs, while continuing to reuse the same file extension identifier for different versions.

FITS and CSV file formats, commonly used in science and engineering, with FITS traditionally used in astronomy.

TeX typesetting system, commonly used in creating scientific articles and reports for publication (in fact many journals require the publication to be fully written in TeX).

Other examples:

Most American-made spark plugs require a 13⁄16-inch hex socket (21mm) to remove or install.

The 1⁄2-inch (13 mm) spacing of the rollers in a bicycle chain.

The IBM Personal Computer (PC). By one year after its 1981 release, John Dvorak described the PC as rapidly becoming a "de facto standard microcomputer".[6] With the MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems, it gained a large share of the personal computer market. Because of the great influence of the IBM PC on the personal computer market, competing products like the Rainbow 100 were eventually withdrawn.

Interpreted programming languages such as PHP that have multiple implementations tend to also have a de facto standard. In PHP's case the de facto standard is the binaries available from php.net, rather than the Phalanger implementation for example.

Use of programming languages R and Python in data science and other science disciplines, other than computer science, where automated analysis of data is required, without system being too complicated for a persons not being professionals.
