The virus can only infect more people if those infected with it are left to roam freely in the general population.
Tell that to the healthcare workers who are having to treat patients in full suits and are still getting exposed. It doesn't matter where you are, the longer you are infectious, the more chance you have of infecting someone, so strains that keep you alive longer are more likely to be passed on.
You are confusing time-to-kill with time-to-becoming-contagious
I misworded it cos I was tired, but yes I did mean time to becoming contagious for the second point.
Oh, please. Think about what you just said. Could it be that they got infected because they did not use proper procedure while wearing or removing the protective suits? Or is the explanation that despite protective suits they contracted the virus?
Let's see. If it's number one, well, it has nothing to do with the time it takes for the virus to kill the patient.
And, guess what? If it is number two it also has nothing to do with the time it takes for the virus to kill a patient. They are probably using the wrong suits. Or maybe they e
Were damaged . Or maybe they were reused or not sanitized or...
Once a patient is identified and quarantined properly and all safety procedures are followed the time that the virus needs to kill the patient is utterly irrelevant as it pertains to spreading the disease. That should hold for all normal circumstances.
