1/ Understanding viral load maybe Vital.

This is a post about VIRAL LOAD and why ignoring social distancing potentially gives you a much more severe infection.
Info by a Dr in Coventry hospital

why we need to avoid large groups and stay home ...
2/ With this virus, the amount of virus in your blood at first infection directly relates to the severity of the illness you will suffer. This isn’t unusual - HIV management is all about reducing viral load to keep people alive longer. BUT it’s very important in COVID-19.
3/So if you are in, say, a pub or religious building or entertainment venue with 200 people and a large number don’t have symptoms but are shedding, you are breathing in lots of droplets per minute and absorbing a high load of the virus. In a crowded space.
4/ people then become ill and can end up in hospital and if the young are not self isolating but older people are then it’s the young that become ill. Viral load explains why so many doctors been ill and need for PPE

5/ Parents are getting it from their kids because no one is going to stop comforting their child (nor should they) so the parent gets a big hit as well as the child. I don’t think that can be helped.

REMEMBER: THINK ABOUT VIRAL LOAD

It could save your life.
I would like to make clear this is one person’s explanation. The key message is stay at home unless you are essential key workers or doctors saving lives. Stop the spread of the virus and govt please ensure our doctors and healthcare workers have PPE
