It doesn't really matter. The UK human challenge studies used a dose that was less than 300,000 times what the monkeys were exposed to, and the human dose was more realistic since it better mimicked attack rates seen from contact-tracing studies.

There have already been human challenge studies in the UK. They were exposed to a viral dose that was around a third of a million of what the monkeys in this study were exposed to.

Would this acceleration also occur with coronaviruses that cause the common cold or is this specific to sars-cov2 or the 2009 H1n1 virus?
