Oh hello.
I knew Dr Rorabeck. He was a wonderful guy. @SchulichMedDent does have much to be proud of. Like any institution, it has its warts.
You seem to fancy yourself a bit of a quant (math! So great!) so you can probably figure out what happens if you get an increase in R resulting in increased attack rates, while virulence
You got it! Gold star ⭐️!
And we have no evidence of diminished virulence for VOC as yet. What we do have is evidence for increased virulence.
Weird, right? But you’re a science guy so like me, you’re all about the data!
Anyway, I think I may have misunderstood your tweet so am excited to have you explain it to me! 🙂🙂🙂
