But what other viral loads were present instead at times throughout the life of the patient.

I don’t know what I’m talking about. But the more I hear about viruses post COVID, the more I believe we don’t take them seriously enough. And the more it seems like they are behind a bunch of things that we struggle to understand, or refuse to understand. (chronic fatigue, brain fog, anything that can be blamed on being lazy, etc. Just as one constellation of examples.)
