| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 The spectrum of symptoms and time symptoms last is highly variable unfortunately. Some people have no symptoms. Usually symptoms hang around for 2-4 weeks. Some people have unfortunately had symptoms that last for a few months. People with more severe symptoms usually have very high viral loads (like in your case). The correlation is weaker regarding the level of viral load and duration of those symptoms. | ||||||||
