Unexpected linearity: a first-order drug response curve observed and explained for SARS-CoV-2 in a hybrid mathematical model

We observe, analyze and explain a pharmacokinetical phenomenon of extraordinary simplicity. Specifically, we show that the probability of infection extinction in a complex, non-deterministic hybrid mathematical model is a linear function of the virus removal rate under rather general circumstances.
