We hypothesize that a "Faustian bargain"-the trading of increased SARS-CoV2 viral infection with a concurrent potential for prevention of life-threatening lower lung infection explains the previous and future morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. Further, this trade-off is made feasible by fundamental principles of thermodynamics and receptor affinity.
我们假设,一种“浮士德式交易”——用增加 SARS-CoV2 病毒感染的风险来换取同时预防危及生命的下肺部感染的可能性——解释了 COVID-19 以前和现在的发病率和死亡率。此外,这种权衡是通过热力学和受体亲和力的基本原理实现的。
