This theory claims that a double-peaked pattern of new cases in a new viral epidemic is intrinsically determined by the pattern of pathogen interaction with the host. According to this hypothesis, relaxation of the community control measures is not responsible; at least in part, for resurgence of cases. Assuming the above hypothesis is true; a viral epidemic curve will show an early upstroke corresponding to persons who pass into viremia upon initial exposure to the virus followed by a second slower rise due to cases who develop the disease after repeated process of inoculation and clearance at the point of entry. In conclusion, the author describes an immunological explanation for a double-peaked epidemic curve of Covid-19 and other new viral diseases. ./cache/cord-270805-o6rbfmie.txt ./txt/cord-270805-o6rbfmie.txt
