Question
SARS-CoV-2 is more contagious in humans than SARS because it has been shown that
SARS-CoV-2 emerged from bats that were superspreaders. |
||
SARS-CoV-2 was derived from SARS by antigenic shift. |
||
There are more than 1 correct answers in the other choices |
||
if X number of SARS-CoV-2 particles would infect Y number of respiratory epithelial cells, higher (than X) number of SARS particles would be required to infect Y number of the same cells. |
