you certainly must be kidding right? there might be a dearth of data on that because of the nature of ethics/how hard that is to test but if you are aware of the basic human immune system response to pathogens you would know that it's a few equations of things at a basic level. virus particles are not smart... they infect cells and make more virus particles they don't have a mechanism that says ok slow down we infected enough to make the host sick... they just infect non-infected cells that are available to infect. for a thought experiment even if you took the replication aspect out of it the more virus cells in your body infecting more cells in your body it would make you sicker. counting in the fact that every infected cell will create more virus particles and a stronger first dose of virus particles that creates those factories would make you sicker all other things equal. at a basic level you have some differential equations going: the B cells make the antibodies that kill the free virus particles. the T cells kill infected cells and inform the B cells to make specific antibodies. just because this data is hard to obtain from empirical means doesn't mean that the basics of biology are that divergent from reality.
