• Makes sense after learning in autopsies COVID is found to be replicating in ~90% of all cell types. This possibly could be the first virus to possess both an immediate & latent mechanism of action.

      Well not exactly, Chickenpox/Shingles, and HIV are two viruses off the top of my head that have latent and immediate mechanisms, but what makes this more terrifying is the sheer scale and spread of the infections, reinfections, and viral endurance. It is a worst case scenario medical nightmare.
