This article says that COVID-19 will never be "just a cold" because COVID-19 can infect ANY cells that have ACE-2 receptors, while cold/flu viruses can *only* infect the respiratory system.
Colds can't infect the heart, the brain, the gut, the testicles, the kidneys, blood vessels, the liver, and more. COVID-19 can.
COVID is not "the flu"!
