American scientists conducted a study based on the results of which it became clear that about 90% of the SARS-COV-2 virus in the population distribute only 2% of infected people – super-prostitutes.
experts were based on mass PCR testing (more than 72 thousand tests) conducted in one of the United States universities from August to December 2020. Its the results of which were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The evaluation of the viral load in samples showed that about half of the examined due to the extremely low selection of the virus is located in the unsuccessful phase, while up to 90% of virions have only 2% of infected. That is, it turned out that a slight minority spread the overwhelming majority of virions.
Next biologists compared the results obtained according to asymptomatic media with similar data on hospitalized patients with coronavirus infection, taken from ten independent studies conducted on the basis of hundreds of laboratories. It turned out that the statistics of the distribution of viral load among asymptomatic and hospitalized virus carriers are very similar.
In both groups, about 90% of virions occur by 2% of super-prostitutes, and 99% – a total of 10% of asymptomatic carriers and 14% of patients with symptoms.
“remains unknown, whether they are special people who can carry an extremely high viral load, or many infected pass through a short period of time with a very high viral load. Regardless of the mechanism, it is not less clear that at any time only a small one. The number of people is the carrier of the overwhelming majority of virions, “they write the authors of the article.
