In SARS, it took 7 to 10 days after onset until peak RNA concentrations (of up to 5x105 copies per swab) were reached13,14. In the present study, peak concentrations were reached before day 5, and were more than 1000 times higher. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2196-x
有些研究人員也發現儘管7天後體內有了抗體,病毒承載量,不會因此跟着下降。這是coronavirus最頑抗的地方。( Seroconversion occurred after 7 days in 50% of patients (14 days in all), but was not followed by a rapid decline in viral load.)( Epidemiol Infect. 1990 Oct; 105(2): 435–446. doi: 10.1017/s0950268800048019)
