LjL | very bad idea i think to change the criteria for ramping up restrictions from cases to hospitalization. it may be more robust, but it's way more delayed. | 22:01 |
nixonix | yes they shed less, on average. some of them are very hard to get positive pcr, and the results are cycle numbers. i dont remember studies, but anecdotal stories like from that finnish hospital outbreak | 22:14 |
nixonix | and that was with indian variant, which is a high shedder | 22:15 |
