In a trial to explain the apparent contradictory results found in different studies as well as the lack of a distinct boundary between the viral loads that might be associated with a higher mortality rate or a higher recover rate; the author would like to suggest that SARS CoV-2 viral load should be only considered as a personalized reflection to the immune response to COVID-19 as well as to the genetic polymorphisms in SARS CoV-2 receptors 3 . ACE2 polymorphisms might be a better field of study than SARS CoV-2 viral load wishing to develop a genetic test that might predict and exempt, if possible, from COVID-19 related duty those who are more vulnerable to complications and mortality 4 SARS-CoV-2 viral load predicts COVID-19 mortality ./cache/cord-301744-rx7ywew5.txt ./txt/cord-301744-rx7ywew5.txt
