1. frequent

   Common signifies frequently occurring, not out of the regular course, not exceptional; hence, not above the average, not excellent or distinguished, inferior, or even low; common also signifies pertaining to or participated in by two or more persons or things; as, sorrow is common to the race. General may signify pertaining equally to all of a class, race, etc., but very commonly signifies pertaining to the greater number, but not necessarily to all. Universal applies to all without exception; general applies to all with possible or comparatively slight exceptions; common applies to very many without deciding whether they are even a majority. A common remark is one we often hear; a general experience is one that comes to the majority of people; a universal experience is one from which no human being is exempt. It is dangerous for a debater to affirm a universal proposition, since that can be negatived by a single exception, while a general statement is not invalidated even by adducing many exceptions. We say a common opinion, common experience, a general rule, general truth, a universal law. Compare synonyms for NORMAL; USUAL.

   CORONAVIRUS IN THE US : STATE-BY-STATE BREAKDOWN The researchers found although children are less likely to get severely ill with the virus, they can easily spread it to vulnerable adults in their lives, especially if theyre in school. Roberta DeBiasi added that, based on other respiratory illnesses, children are known spreaders. The researchers also studied a rare infection that can result in heart problems fromthe childs immune response to the virus. This is a severe complication as a result of the immune response to COVID-19 infection, and the number of these patients is growing, and, as in adults with these very serious systemic complications, the heart seems to be the favorite organ targeted by post-COVID-19 immune response. She said the immune response complication should factor into vaccine production strategy. The researchers recommend wearing masks, social distancing, hand washing, a combination of in-person and remote learning and frequent testing if returning to school in the fall.
