What I'm getting at is, there seems to be a huge gap in research as to "infected/viral RNA" vs "infects others/contagious" which strikes me as somewhat important.
We know from other coronaviruses that the RNA is still viral long after the infectiousness period, yet we seem to be testing for one thing to determine the other??
Edit to add: And the RNA doesn't need to viral for the virus to be infectious. Perhaps it's infectious before the RNA ribosome sequence/entry/whatever it is that I don't quite understand how it works yet.
