But you're saying they can't use this marker to make a pre-infection prediction, and they're saying it's possible.

- spywaregorilla 5y agoI'm saying the absence of it is unlikely to be a reliable indicator of poor outcomes. The presence of it may be useful. My point is that this is not some general trait that some people have some people don't. This is a cell marker that tells the larger system that the cell should be killed. The cells only start to express this when they're doing poorly. Many people start to do poorly only after they get the disease. I would also reckon that known comorbidities are likely to be a more reliable, significantly easier to measure predictive feature for estimating risk before they get covid.
