A majority of people in the U.S have had Covid-19 at least once — likely more than 70% of the country, White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator Ashish Jha said on Thursday, citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many have been infected multiple times. In a study that has not been peer viewed that looked at 257,000 U.S. veterans who'd contracted Covid at least once, 12% had a reinfection by April and about 1% had been infected three times or more.
This raises an obvious question: What is keeping that shrinking minority of people from getting sick?
Disease experts are homing in on a few predictive factors beyond individual behavior, including genetics, T cell immunity and the effects of inflammatory conditions like allergies and asthma.
But even as experts learn more about the reasons people may be better equipped to avoid Covid, they caution that some of these defenses may not hold up against the latest version of omicron, BA.5, which is remarkably good at spreading and evading vaccine protection.
"It really takes two to tango," said Neville Sanjana, a bioengineer at the New York Genome Center. "If you think about having an infection and any of the bad stuff that happens after that, it really is a product of two different organisms: the virus and the human."
In 2020, New York University researchers identified a multitude of genes that could affect a person's susceptibility to the coronavirus. In particular, they found that inhibiting certain genes that code for a receptor known as ACE2, which allows the virus to enter cells, could reduce a person's likelihood of infection.
Sanjana, who conducted that research, estimated that about 100 to 500 genes could influence Covid-19 susceptibility in sites like the lungs or nasal cavity.

Wife has Covid. Says it’s the sickest she has ever been in her life. It really was bad. Starting to get over it. Been about a week. I got sick about a month ago. Just relapsed. RSV. But no Covid!
Maybe there’s no room in your system for more than one virus at a time?
the less literature says the type o+ are less likely to get covid than others. but the difference between type o+ infection rates and others is not very great.
so the reason for the immunity is elsewhere.
from what I’ve seen its the innate immune system that makes the difference.
Yup, it is just the flu. The dems used it to lock down the country in order to stuff phony ballots into street side ballot drop boxes to get Biden in the WH. The drug and mask companies cheered when they made billions selling snake oil and facial panties.
He should have followed FLCCC vitamin supplement protocols and Ivermectin.
I know two people who were jabbed and boosted who got COVID.
I Know three people who were jabbed and boosted who haven’t had Covid.
I know at least ten people who were not jabbed who haven’t gotten Covid.
I think I had Covid in late 2019. I thought it was the flu and treated it aggressively.
No jab for me.
Yup. Ivermectin and HCQ are the two proven cures.
On top of that, 70% of the populace distrust the government, and the same ones follow St. Fauci in getting multiple government-sponsored shots.
“What is “covid””?
We’ve all been overwhelmed with so much info and conflicting info that I’m confused but I don’t think Covid has been identified as a virus.
Yup. Same here. We call it the anti-Covid recipe in our house.
Outstanding post!!
What kind of “serious ugly”?
No one in my household is vaxxed.
Covid rolled through, husband and eldest did not get it.
Delta came in, got my eldest son.
Omnicron took everyone down, including my husband.
Just recently, I had COVID stomach (yes, it’s a thing). It’s like having food poisoning for three weeks.
So ready for this to end. Fauci is evil and his experiment will never be part of my system.
Mom is 83 and unvaxxed. We all caught the original, and my daughter was living with her when she spiked her fever (DD came back to our house as soon as that happened)
We tossed some Quercetin and zinc through Mom’s back door and hoped for the best. She never had any symptoms.
She continues to take both and has yet to catch it
That’s wonderful! Hope everyone else fared well too
We all used the modified Zelenko protocol ( May he Rest In Peace )
Quercitin, zinc, vitamin D. Extremely mild symptoms and luckily no further issues in spite of occasional exposures.
Somehow I’m yet to have it. I’ve not been particularly careful. Especially since Omicron, being far less deadly (vs the not-so-deadly-for-most original virus), I kinda wanted to get it - the best vaccine you could get.
...but nope.
Type O+ .... have taken Vit D - 6000iu daily for 6 to 7 years. Last year + I have taken 1000mg of vit C, Zinc, Quercetin daily. No vaxx’s.
Doctors say I got Covid, 3 1/2 months ago. Been in hospital since then.
Nerve damage in left arm and foot. Left arm does nothing just lays there. Foot and leg getting stronger. Cannot sit up without help.... can stand with help for about 4 seconds.
I have a lot of questions, not many answers.
Trusting God. Had kidney failure in beginning of this, now kidneys are fine. That is impossible but with God all things are possible.
I thought that until two of my kids with o got it. My wife and I have not for some reason and are o neg. We smoke. Maybe?
Great to hear about your Mom weathering the storm and you’re all doing well.
I’m sold on Quercetin, too. No jabs for me.
Glad to hear it! 👍
Zelenko was a true hero!!
