      Also thinking of this thread, maybe? And the likely shortened serial interval. I think @ScottGottliebMD may be right that we’re deeper into this wave than it appears.https://twitter.com/jameshay218/status/1316202284510978048 …

      2. The time since infection dictates observed viral loads. People who were infected a long time ago typically have lower viral loads, because the decline phase of viral kinetics takes longer that the growth phase (remember – expectations not individuals!). 10/25 pic.twitter.com/r4RNcLwKXa

          We have surveillance testing at universities and other workplaces as well as of people who come into the hospital for other things. If we had massively more infection than the cases suggested wouldn't we see it there? This sounds like the kind of magical thinking from 2020.

          We are seeing massive infection among unvaccinated, could very well be that there’s a big iceberg of asymptomatic vaxxed people out there too

          Problem is it shows no sign of slowing no matter how deep
