“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.

I have a rare autoantibody. Science hasn’t studied it much because it so rare but even in the ones that have been studied like Anti Jo there is a lot they dont understand. At this point I am afraid to get any vaccine because there is just so much that is not known.

Genetics, no doubt, plays a key in how a body responds to Covid. It also will influence the aftermath.

Do all politicians and all celebrities who supposedly had COVID have good genetics?

You should know that linking to something from NIH isn’t going to be believed - not anymore!!!

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::
