Independent action hypothesis (IAH), dose response, and ID50 thread 🧵

IAH = idea that each single virion has chance to infect

Dose response curves. Related to the ID50, or infectious dose to make 50% of organisms sick. Measuring how much of a pathogen is needed to cause %age of infection.

A thread about stuff the talking heads don't want you to know.*

(*In fairness they probably don't understand it.)
