The viral load thing came up in some podcast I was listening too. So experiments were done with the flu Or cold virus and a smaller load resulted in a less severe infection.
They obviously can’t repeat the experiment with COVID. They suspect the same thing happens but they aren’t sure.
Oh the off chance it really is true, I’m wearing a mask!
- istorical 6y agowould be great if someone can find them, but pretty sure there was a study done during the SARS 1 outbreak in the Canadian hospital that attempted to demonstrate that physical proximity to severe cases (and highly symptomatic individuals?) was correlated to viral load and further correlated to severity of illness. At least I saw people early on in Novel Coronavirus days of Jan/Feb speculating about the meaning of said study.
