Title: SARS-CoV-2 titers in wastewater are higher than expected from clinically confirmed cases
  • Document date: 2020_4_7

    Snippet: Second, the estimates of viral titer per positive stool may be too low if a small number of individuals shed very high levels of virus. While this can be tested, it may require extensive testing of individual stools in order to arrive at an accurate estimate. Given the importance of assessing the fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infections that present with symptoms, we note that our results are consistent with the idea that a significant fraction of cases.....
    Document: Second, the estimates of viral titer per positive stool may be too low if a small number of individuals shed very high levels of virus. While this can be tested, it may require extensive testing of individual stools in order to arrive at an accurate estimate. Given the importance of assessing the fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infections that present with symptoms, we note that our results are consistent with the idea that a significant fraction of cases that are not detected with current testing algorithms, and that this fraction may include a large number of patients without symptoms.
