A very important thing is the topology of the infection. I had COVID last year and it progressed linearly over time, from the back of my nose(probably from a big water droplet I breathed)forwards(towards my nose) and downwards towards my lungs. I could measure the progress day after day.
It progressed linearly because the breathing system is a duct. Like a fire needs a boundary to expand, a frontier. It is not 3D but 2 dimensional.
You just can not do an exponential calculation, without taking into account the physical limits of the environment.
Just before entering the lungs I did beat it. I coughed for a month or so,specially for the irritation in my glottis, but nothing serious.
This year I got it again, the progress rate was very similar but my immune system reacted sooner.
What is interesting is that I did not developed antibodies, my antibodies test were negative but the PCRs positives. This means that my T cells were already fighting the infection.
That probably had something to do with living in China in the past and having developed immunity against SARS.
- javagram 5y ago> That probably had something to do with living in China in the past and having developed immunity against SARS. Only about 8000 persons have been recorded to come down with SARS. Were you one of them with a diagnosed case of SARS (10% fatality rate)? The vast majority of residents in China would have no exposure to SARS.

Do you think this could have helped early in your case: Use of Povidone Iodine Nasal Spray.. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3563092 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3563092 (March 2020) or this: nasal rinse and mouthwash, Listerine Antiseptic https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.26514 https://doi.org/10.1002/jmv.26514 if the virus landed on the throat ?
- nopeBS 5y agoAlternative theory: you had something else for at least one of those reported illnesses, and your PCR test was a false positive. The rest is conjecture, anecdote, and speculation.
