WuFlu may be weakening

So, you're actually not aware that the more virus you get in your body, the more sick you're likely to get?

And that masks are instrumental in reducing that?

JPP science.

News flash lol:

The viruses need to first get in—then propagate, to produce a significant load. The sciencey word is ‘colonize in the host’.

If the virus gets in but fails to propagate nothing much happens. In fact nothing happens at all.

Doesn't change what I said too much - which has been the subject of a few studies.

Masks reduce the amount of virus that gets in. So, even if infected, those who contract it don't get as sick.

Good pro-mask thread. Keep 'em coming.

How and why did the viral load actually drop? What are the other parts of the reason for this?
And, the article said, "Part of this, he adds, may be due to the public’s actions to curb the spread."
I've always worn a mask when asked...which rarely happens. :cool:
 
The Trump virus is going up in 20 states and the rightys say it is weakening. Of course they do. They make their own reality.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Masks and Trump are the extent of your ‘science’ knowledge on this subject. Masks might slow down the rate of transmission in a population: and yeah, how many viruses you manage to snort while walking down the food aisle matters in terms of whether you snort enough of them in order to start *a clinical infection*.

But *after* the infection starts, the viruses start to replicate and produce a viral load. This study suggests a decreasing ability of the COVID virus to produce clinically significant viral loads: loads that make the person a risk for transmission and/or become severely ill with it.

Guidelines and recommendations have nothing to do with this. Zilch. Nada.

LOL

You'd better do some googling.

At least 3 studies since this started that reduced AMOUNT of virus entering into the body = less severity of the symptoms.

This is a new virus, Darth. Old assumptions don't always apply. You have to actually research it a bit.
 
Why yes, it has been lessening in the wear a mask at indoor events and facilities or pay $500 state. Who'd have guessed, besides every health expert you refused to listen to and spit on their name. On the flipside it's increasing in the land of the foolhardy states.

DETROIT, Mich. — While some health experts warn of a possible second wave in the coronavirus pandemic, a new study is pointing to signs that COVID-19’s severity may be fading. Researchers at Wayne State University say viral loads from patients are continuing to decrease as the pandemic progresses. This is also showing a connection to a lowering death rate.

“Rapid implementation of social distancing measures, lockdown and widespread use of facemasks may have contributed to a decrease in the exposure to the virus.”

Interesting study.

The COVID death rate has dropped since early in the epidemic and the virus weakening would explain it. Arguably, the most plausible explanation, actually.

Though it’s interesting [and perhaps predictable] how they concluded it was likely due to man’s actions and not a natural consequence. If people are carrying a lower viral load—that has nothing to do with the rate of transmission; rather, it means the virus is less able to propagate itself within the host *after* the host has been infected.

Hence, the lower death rate.

And if the virus is showing a decreased ability to propagate it’s either weakening or something is going on with the populations immune systems. Most likely, it’s just weakening. Not like it’s never happened before.

At any rate, if this study reflects reality then this is good news. We have likely seen the worst of it.

Tell us again about the "only 61 dead" part.

Don’t you mean *less chance* of severe symptoms lol?

Derp.

no thw less amount exposed the less chance it will develop into a disease. The severity of the symptoms have nothing to do with the exposure amount -that is determined by the virulence of the strain and the body's immune system response

im thinking there must be a lessening virulence of the strain, and better therapeutics to reduce the viral loading

all of which hydroxychloroquine +zinc +ZPAK would do, if the FDA allowed it as well

That's true w/ normal viral activity. They don't think that's the case w/ COVID.
