Henry, I find I sneeze more in the early stages. After a few days, I'm hiding in bed, dripping or congested rather than splattering. Even though the viral load is peaking [as measured by feeling bleak], the sneezing is much less. So maximum infection rate by sars victims might be much earlier than 10 days.
I suppose that's due to desiccated membranes, inflammation, and other things going on, which result in tender tissue. Patients wearing masks would be a good idea as that would cut down their atmospheric pollution quite a lot. I wouldn't be interested in sharing their air.
It's almost funny, if not so fatal, that doctors were so blase about sars in Toronto. That attitude is so symptomatic of the medical industry disease of minimisation, diagnosis of the most common and harmless disease rather than the elimination of the most lethal possibilities, and reassurance [which is the most popular prescription, though bugs and malignancies oddly enough are unaffected by it].
That doctors' disease has been fatal to huge numbers of people with all sorts of diseases requiring urgent treatment, such as meningitis, melanoma, and other cancers.
