I read this on a crappy thing on Facebook claiming to be quoting from something medical, so I’m assuming it is utter rubbish, but I am interested in the science and wondered if anyone could explain the truth?
Basically this post claimed that if you got a large viral load of Coronavirus, for example by being in a close contact with someone who has it and then coughing, sneezing and breathing on you, you would be more ill than if you get a small dose of virus from touching something contaminated, and then touching your eyes.
I know that you’d be much more likely to get the virus from close contact, but does it also affect the intensity of the illness?
