If the survivors all got a weak form of the virus while the deceased got the strong one, I think we would know that by now too.

Process of elimination suggests genetic variables are likely the difference between life and death, at least for the healthy(ish) public.

Compared to our other tools for battling the virus, can genetic testing scale up the fastest? It is merely a spit test. I’d like a lot more visibility on scalability. Seems like the fastest way to plunge death counts.

Identify and prioritize the genetically vulnerable, pump them full of convalescent blood serum and HCQ (with consent, obvi), and open the economy. Experts: What am I getting wrong in this line of thinking?

How are initial viral loads know\estimated? Especially for asymptomatic people?

Viral loads will differ based on each person's immune response. Starting with lower viral loads (exposure) produces different outcomes eg. healthcare workers without good PPE with more severe outcomes.

I’d be willing to wager that the nocebo effect is a reason. People have been convinced that the virus is a death sentence, and so it is.

Could be lifestyle. Body ph, vitamin consumption, drug use (legal / illegal).
