Considering similarities of Covid-19 to Dengue MOI
I also wonder if not very similar to Dengue- in the nature of different serotype presentations vs when two different serotypes result in antibody-dependent enhanced response.
Thoughts ? @farid__jalali

Why are dengue virus serotypes so distantly related? Enhancement and limiting serotype similarity between dengue virus strains.
Why are dengue virus serotypes so distantly related? Enhancement and limiting serotype similarity between dengue virus strains.
"light of a process of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) leading to increased mortality. Antibody-dependent enhancement results from a new infection with a particular serotype in an individual with acquired immunity to a different serotype.
Classical dengue fever causes negligible mortality, but ADE leads to the risk of developing the significantly more dangerous dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS).
