(I read smokers are considered a higher risk, and “a lot” of Chinese males are smokers, but how about vaping?) Could the coronavirus be a “bad cold” that is particularly bad for vapers? And when did the technology to gene sequence a virus start being used to track infections? Could the panic be due to a confluence of a specific virus identification technology being newly available, and also a new type of lung damage from vaping starting to pop up? > [@How concerned are you about this Coronavirus?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-concerned-are-you-about-this-coronavirus/847164/419): > > Now some experts are looking at vape lung as a cause for the freak out: > [Flu, vaping or novel coronavirus: experts suspect the US might have failed to identify causes of deaths - Global Times](http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1181292.shtml) > Was this the spread of my idea, or near simultaneous discovery? > [@grid sampled virus database?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/grid-sampled-virus-database/848656/3): > > Hey, I’m not panicing. As I explained in my original post, I firmly believe it’s a run of the mill virus and the whole freak out was due to vapers who damaged their lungs with new bad additives experiencing a run of the mill flu season. Can we really doubt that a dog tested positive for the coronavirus because of the political leanings of the news source? I don’t. Can someone find a source for it which people haven’t blocked out of consideration? > [@Spring Break in Vegas..

If it was coronavirus back then, it has been spreading much longer than the main narrative says, and so I am not alarmed about this virus. I think the Chinese freaked out back around the new year because they were seeing a spike in pneumonia cases when people with vape lung hit the flu season.
