That's pretty interesting, what does this mean for anything. Like does it change how tests should work? vaccines? any mitigation measure?

It will probably mean a lot regarding cognitive function and psychosis to those are risk genetically. Changes in NRP1 are linked to mood disorders like schizophrenia and depression.

I think it also shows that this is the pre-symptomatic time of the infection.

My own experiences with Covid was I had a psychotic break two days before I had a fever. I have a history of psychosis.

It’s also important to note that the Epstein-Barr virus also uses NRP1.

In my humble opinion, I feel that the destruction of NRP1 and ACE2 are responsible for many of the comorbidities we find after infection with SARS2.
