Amid fears of a possible second wave, a new study find COVID-19's severity may be fading as the death rate falls.
Researchers at Wayne State University in Michgan say the viral loads in patients with SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, are continuing to decrease, which they connect to the lowering death rate, reported Study Finds.
Dr. Said El Zein and his team analyzed nasal swabs of COVID-19 patients at Detroit Medical Center from April 4 to June 5 and found a downward trend in the amount of virus detected in patients.
In August, the New York Times found in an analysis of data that up to 90% of people testing positive carried barely any virus.
