I don't even care if the sound was doctored. That was priceless.

Probably 50 years ago i saw Anna Maria Alberghetti, the sweet, sophisticated opera singer, tell Merv Griffin about an incident like that which happened to her.

Incidentally, I know the person behind that twitter account.

That video has been around for years.

And of course, someone will probably be pedantic enough to point out that it could have been an update on another coronavirus. However, that is very doubtful. And in either case, I was just trying to humorously make the point that it was an old video.

What we're experiencing right now is only one form of a coronavirus. Additionally, the MERS and SARS and many other named outbreaks were a form of coronaviruses.

I wasn't trying to be a smart-ass about it. To be fair, you did make it sound like this is the only coronavirus that we've had to deal with in your original reply before you edited.
