Presenting a new hypothesis	2020-09-13		.txt	text/plain	573	46	69	RESULTS: Virus become more virulent as it passes through weaker hosts and vice versa. CONCLUSIONS: Viruses become more virulent when it passes through weaker and older hosts. While compiling the data about doctors' deaths in India during the COVID-19 pandemic, the case of a 50-year-old doctor who contracted the infection while taking care of his mother at home was observed. Did the son get a more virulent selection of virus after it passed through his mother, who was an older and weaker host? Coxsackie virus CVB3 is known to become more virulent as it passes through weaker and older mice hosts [4] . In the study of 108 COVID-related deaths among doctors in India, nearly half were general practitioners, who saw older patients [5]. It will be worth analysing the transmission chain of COVID-19 from this perspective, specifically to see if the age and frailty of the donor of the virus made a difference in the outcome in the host.	./cache/cord-307744-wbr84taq.txt	./txt/cord-307744-wbr84taq.txt
