Then you do not understand how disease works

Do you understand how antibodies work?

Not a trick question

Do you have convid-19 antibodies ?

I have no idea if my T-cells and white blood cells can beat the current flu strain called COVID-19. But then, none of us do until our body, through the wonderful tool called our immune system, fights it off or...doesn’t.

All I can tell you is this virus is akin to every type of flu strain that has ever existed. Maybe the symptoms are more acute in this one (i.e. the need for a ventilator for those with acute symptoms) but it is doing exactly what all flu viruses do. It attacked everyone but the ones who are mostly succumbing to it are old, who usually have other conditions, and the young who have undeveloped immune systems. Of course, as with all viruses, there are instances of the healthy succumbing to it as well.
