“That is what I’ve heard from others also. I don’t understand how people ended up hospitalized.”

- “One size does not fit all with Covid. Just because YOU didn’t have a problem and people you know haven’t had a problem doesn’t mean that people with certain genetic codes can escape bad effects.” -

Yeah, a person “inherits” a health profile that they can’t do a great deal about. And then there’s the risk factors - obesity, age, existing health issues, etc.

Had Covid last winter - was mostly like an annoying mildly-nasty head cold for a week with some tiredness - then I was good as new.

This week I’ve had a really nasty bugger of a respiratory bug, prit-near coughed up my innards, was exhausted and felt awful in general. I would have traded it for Covid any day.

Of interest here, I’ve been taking Metformin for approx 10 years. Might of helped with the Covid, I dunno. ::shrug::

It’s your allegiance to all the discounted research and back tracking on COVID that is sad...not my belief in genetics. Sad that you don’t realize how we’ve been lied to in that regard.

Having several members of my family who have lived into their mid 90’s, some over 100 and me in my mid 80’s, I understand genetics. I don’t bow down to the medical community.

alrighty then...you obviously believe genetics couldn’t possibly explain why some people have COVID issues despite Scientists telling you they are seeing it

and you CLEARLY don’t believe you can have a problem in the CD56bright gene that could be causing issues for some with COVID...

whatever...

“”whatever...””

That’s usually the last word of people who have failed to convince others of the validity of their argument.

I would think when told you are speaking to someone in their middle 80’s, that perhaps that person has a little bit of experience in life...

Only liberals insist others agree with them.

Not all Diabetics are obese or over weight at all.

There is a Genetic factor with some Diabetic patients.
