If 43% of people with #Coronavirus never show symptoms (per a recent study), what does that likely tell us about the virus?
If lifestyle is the key to why some otherwise healthy people under 70 die while others have no symptoms, would we not have noticed that glaring variable by now? Seems like it would stick out.
The recent study I mentioned noted viral loads were similar in people with symptoms and without. But outcomes differed.
If the survivors all got a weak form of the virus while the deceased got the strong one, I think we would know that by now too.
Process of elimination suggests genetic variables are likely the difference between life and death, at least for the healthy(ish) public.
Compared to our other tools for battling the virus, can genetic testing scale up the fastest? It is merely a spit test. I’d like a lot more visibility on scalability. Seems like the fastest way to plunge death counts.
Identify and prioritize the genetically vulnerable, pump them full of convalescent blood serum and HCQ (with consent, obvi), and open the economy. Experts: What am I getting wrong in this line of thinking?
