How does that follow? Is there a lower amount of viral replication in the rest of the respiratory tract, compared to previous lineages?
Also, not to be rude, but I think the focus on respiratory tracts is completely defunct now (if it already wasn't years ago). It was always a whole-body disease, but killed via lung failure. But I believe everyone susceptible to dying like this is already dead. (Personally I suspect that lung failure is simply the apex of the multi-organ disease progression, and it seems that the people who die of lung failure aren't only having their lungs fail)
The problem now is all the other "lesser" stuff COVID does, which is still worse than literally any other disease save ebola and marburg
