In particular is this virus contagious *per contact* or is it merely that we have low / no immunity and it doesn't set off alarms and we go about our day and that's why this spreads so much

Yes -exactly, its a common gut bacteria. So, immune bells are not going off. Note, that why its also in the feces. And why do many false -ves? This is DNA, we are looking for RNA (which is also made, but only in detectable quantities when the bacterial conc is high).

But it's a virus, not a bacterium. And it resides in the lower respiratory tract - hence why no 'cold' symptoms (i.e. blocked, runny nose) but instead pneumonia = common with it.

Better get some sleep then :) Will explain as much as you want. I am 100% sure. This is not secondary infection, which is a fair assessment for one or two cases.

Pitch it at no higher than grad student level. Clueless, physicist undergrad grad student.

Great start, but I do not have the adequate background to communicate this to professional geneticists in the U.K. without your help. Worth refining the “from the top” essay on this and getting in front of people. Now live cases in the U.K.

Just tell them to test for Prevotella. Whether in culture, or thru sequencing. And make data available. They already have it.
