Part of the simplest defense against viruses is clean dry fresh air. Bugs don’t do well in dry, low humidity, air. This is the reason there are few reported transmissions on commercial airliners. They are built for once-thru air that moves from top to bottom that only passes by Ol Wheezy once. At the same time this is the reason the beaches in S. Cal were closed early. It was well know that surface runoff in the populated areas contaminated the surf spray and the breeze carried the bugs down the shore just to spread the stuff all over. At the same time restaurants with overhead fans that just stir the air are about the worst places to avoid a bug.
Probably so!
It is reported this virus attacks the immune
System and if its low you are vulnerable..even for a common cold.
“At the start of the pandemic, and before I was vaccinated, I could have caught the virus but I could have been one of the small number of people who did not display symptoms and therefore did not test for it.”
This one sentence reveals this person’s ignorance and bias.
Here are just a few flaws in his reasoning:
He thinks that the only time he could have caught the virus was before he was vaccinated. Wrong. People caught the virus regardless of vaccination status.
He thinks only people with no symptoms would not be tested for Covid. Wrong again. The symptoms were similar to many ailments, including the common cold. Arguably, the number of people who got tested was a small fraction of those who had symptoms.
He thinks that only a small number of people could have caught Covid and had no symptoms. Wrong yet again. This could have been most people - if peopke weren’t tested how could he possibly know?
“Some people may clear the virus quickly because they have pre-existing antibodies and memory immune cells that recognise the virus. These could be cross-reactive memory T-cells generated previously to fight similar coronaviruses that cause the common cold.”
This conclusion is sound, with one caveat: It isn’t some rare people who have this pre-existing antibodies and memory immune cells that recognise the virus - it is almost everybody.
In retrospect, we should have just let it spread like we do the common cold - there was no pandemic. There was just a DemPanic.
Well, The only time I got sick with a cold, I got it from my son. He came home with it and I hadn’t been anywhere. He got tested at the drs office and it was negative. That’s the only time I’ve been remotely sick in 3 years. Not even a sniffle.
Amazing Guardian publishes this.
And it’s two years late.
This was known shortly after it all started.
But there was no reason, no rationality, no science.
Good point.
Vitamin D, sunlight, exercise, not obese, eat well, etc. Not rocket science.
As a seasoned citizen, I never got the CoupFlu.
In fact, it’s been at least 15-20 years since I had any type of flu.
Why not everyone has caught AiDS…. Gosh, I dont know why…. Things you will never hear them ask then
I am old enough to remember when they said any heterosexual who didn’t use a condom would get AIDS. Didn’t quite turn out that way.
It’s incredibly rare for me to get sick. I’m talking once every 5-10 year, and even then it’s usually a minor sniffle for a few days. The wife asks me how that’s possible, and I tell her the Irishman in me is too stubborn to get sick. She agrees...😉
I’ve never tested positive for Covid.
Of course, I’ve avoided any Covid testing, so that helps.
I’ve never got covid, even though I stayed with my folks when they had it. Both my sister and I stayed with them, and both of us cleared quarantine with negative antigen and PCR tests at 10 days. I had two antibody tests since then and have no antibodies.
“If they had seriously investigated the Covid immune on the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship and found some anwers, much death and suffering could have been prevented.”
That’s a very good point. Everyone on board was exposed.
Thank you, we do exist. Happily.
Lolol…not vaxxed…I had it …no monoclonal antibodies…beat down for about a week and weak for about 2 more weeks…old fat white man…
I was directly exposed 3 times to the C...never got it, never got tested except when gave blood (negative), and never got shots. And I’m old.
Now they are going to ask everyone who never became sick, and were never tested either, to come get a swab stuck up their nose “all for science”. No thanks!
I think I got it dec 2021 (Christmas). Family in town. 4 days of hazy brain and fatigue. No vax (still might lose my job). Didn’t test for it but 10 days later tested negative for work.
