Re: Coronavirus Thread. Virus v humans
A commonly accepted psychological fact hmmmm... The, "I believe it is..." that came before added some context that you left out, don't you think? Sort of implies, "not really sure, something I heard, maybe someone can confirm?". That was the intention anyway, although I think you knew that already.
