[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a question.  The story below, describes a Chinese family where all four members were infected with the virus after being quarantined at home in close quarters.  All four (including 2 healthy adults in their 40s and 2 elderly parents) died within 2 weeks of one another.  How is it possible that a virus with a fatality rate of 2% kills an entire family of four?

Statistically, this seems highly unlikely.  Could there be different strains of the virus in circulation that are more virulent than others?[/quote]

I've hit a paywall but I think it also has to do with viral load, and yes, I think that there has been some mutuation.[/quote]

viruses all mutate. there’s no evidence of a more virulent strain. [/quote]

Two strains. The more virulent one was the first near Wuhan. L type.

Supposedly this has been debunked. Not sure I believe that though.[/quote]

[quote]Given these flaws, we believe that Tang et al. should retract their paper, as the claims made in it are clearly unfounded and risk spreading dangerous misinformation at a crucial time in the outbreak.[/quote]
