So spread is less. Americans go to the beach for spring break..so it matters 5hat the 20 year old is tested..otherwise he goes to Daytona and impacts the whole country..the 65 year old might impact his bingo group.

I know. try getting a flu test or strep test! Sooo hard!

The rapid test is available now - just pushing hospitals to use it. Abbot Labs

Part of that is we are testing the people more likely to have complications, not

Cougarbib

Correct. Right now its an issue of test availability

The point of being tested is that you know she had it and you know that U were

Simply not true. I got tested very easily with very mild symptoms here in Utah.

I went to testutah.com and the IHC Covid symptom tracker

Same with us; that system told us to just stay home and our doctor told us no

I just drove right up to the testing facility almost 2 weeks ago and they asked if I wanted to get tested and I said yes

RUNBYU1

I think the testutah.com is actually preventing people from getting tested that should. I didn't do any of that stuff.

I don’t doubt your experience in the slightest; but clearly not everyone has

There is no evidence of less harmful “strains”. Virus is mutating to a degree

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 6:45am

Weak infection = weak symptoms. Simple.

charles

4/10/20 6:57am

Viral load vs bodies defences. Simple

charles

4/10/20 6:59am

Structure of virus is not the variable changing.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 8:03am

Not the structure. Social distancing changes viral load/# of virons

charles

4/10/20 9:46am

Huh? Social distancing affects you not getting the virus, not your viral load.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 10:25am

Viral load depends on how many you start with plus how many are replicated

charles

4/10/20 11:20am

I wouldn’t think initial viral load would have mattered due to exponential

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 11:31am

Yes. Get the virus from a weakened one on a surface will have a different result

That just does not make sense to me. The viral genome remains the same whether

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 1:16pm

He's assuming one gets 10,000,000 virons from the girlfriend mouth to mouth

charles

4/10/20 1:20pm

It doesn’t matter. There are only up to 10 base pair mutations from the MOST

Robert Baratheon

No one suggesting weakened strands.

The importance of viral dose. repost excerpt s from NYT article posted on CB

Interesting and plausible. Thank you.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 11:40pm

It is dying on the surface the longer it is on the surface and

Cougarbib

4/10/20 1:39pm

There is absolutely NO evidence to suggest there are weakens stands. Sorry.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 1:18pm

No one is suggesting weakened strains. It's simply viron quantity.

charles

4/10/20 1:23pm

I must have mis read cougarbib.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 1:27pm

Google how long will Coronavirus live on a hard surface and read up.

Cougarbib

4/10/20 1:40pm

I am not doubting it can die on a surface. This notion that the virus is "less"

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 7:53pm

All of the sequencing that has been done is showing little no mutation.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 7:56pm

I said nothing about mutations. Viruses die a slow death on surfaces weakening

Cougarbib

4/10/20 11:47pm

From what I understand you said: The virus off the surface is weaker.

Robert Baratheon

4/11/20 8:49am

From a surface a few hours old with some viruses still viable but most unviable

Cougarbib

4/11/20 11:15am

Yes it will. The question is whether the infectious dose has any impact.

Robert Baratheon

4/11/20 2:53pm

In short. People get more sick is their own bodies ability, not the virus.

Robert Baratheon

4/10/20 10:40am

Yes its the same virus but the number of initial virons varies greatly.
