Clearly you're better at this than I am... Legolas Send a noteboard - 12/12/2020 12:08:29 AM

I tried looking up some of the same numbers for Jeo in another thread the other day, took me a lot of effort to get to similar numbers but with a lot more 'I think' and 'probably'.

I just want to add one more thing - that even among people with no known preconditions, clearly some react much worse to the virus than others, so it's not possible to extrapolate from one's own experiences to everybody else. I'm not sure if by now the scientists have made much more progress as to the reason behind that, whether it has something to do with the 'viral load' people catch at the moment of infection, or if it's genetics, or something else still.
