But consider, if my guess is correct, that the virus sheds lethality during the course of ONE infection in ONE patient wouldn’t you expect to see occurrences of the illness where people were just getting sicker and sicker and then suddenly it stops, like a switch? I would. And that is what all these “anecdotes” are about, IMHO. Watch the placebo controlled study now being proposed at South Carolina Med University. I bet there are Lazarus like anecdotes in the placebo group as well. Which may confuse those not thinking about “all the possibilities”.

Seems like an outlier, given that most accounts are of the virus hammering away at a patient’s defenses, until he can take no more and finally gives up the ghost. However, if the strains that permit Lazarus-like recoveries begin to predominate, perhaps that’s how the pandemic burns itself out.
