As a layman this all looks true to me. This is the difference between being smacked with a hammer or a sledge hammer.

Makes sense, me making slight contact with the virus and a limited reaction vs a doctor being fully exposed. For instance 12 doctors have died in the Philippines so far.

“As a layman this all looks true to me. This is the difference between being smacked with a hammer or a sledge hammer.”

I know, that’s why the medical community is having so much trouble figuring it out - it’s too obvious for their Mensa-minds.

One thing to add though - you can also be hit with a feather (a very light load of Coronavirus) and your immune system will quickly make minced meat of it, long before you have any clue as to what happened.

My theory is, based on the incredibly small particle size of this virus (and thus how many of these virons are out there), is that we’ve all inhaled it - but in such light concentrations that very few of us got sick from it.

So it’s load and time exposed to that load. For health care workers, they have the worst. For us shopping in a near empty market, we have it much better.
