Popis: Here, the authors provide upper airway gene expression data from patients with COVID-19 and other viral and non-viral acute respiratory illnesses. They find attenuated activation of innate immune and pro-inflammatory pathways in COVID-19 as compared to other viral infections, which may contribute to its propensity for pre-symptomatic transmission.
