Best Immune System of all TIme?

A substantial portion of the population (especially younger)is substantially immune due to inherent immune system and exposure to other coronaviruses, etc.. This is why herd immunity can be reached with less than 20% antibodies in a population.

It is ridiculous how much the effective immunity of most children to covid is not talked about. It is a virus that effectively scales directly with age and immune health.

If I had to guess, you - as a runner - never got close enough to anyone at that party to catch anything.

it was shoulder to shoulder at the party: we had a 90% test rate for those there and then I was quarantined with three roommates who all had it (we obviously didn't distance as it was assumed I was just asymp.)

There was some speculation why Africa hasn't been as badly affected by COVID as predicted. It could be previous sub clinical exposure to a related virus.

Just to nitpick - You are probably just lucky, a "strong immune system" can't protect you against a virus you have never encountered before. Rather it has to learn and adapt and fight the infection. In fact, most of the severe symptoms/fatalities come from an immune response that is "too strong" leading to autoimmune reaction.

Good lord, for all of our sake, never comment on a biological issue again. This is Dunning-Kruger at it's apex.

I can't answer your non scientific response.

How could younger people have more exposure to previous coronaviruses?

Your sentence is a literal contradiction.

Children are not immune to covid, they are just asymptomatic.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

Actually it is not. We live and breathe a soup of viruses every day. We've been doing that for hundreds of thousands of years. With constant exposure to virus our immune system are a constant state ebbs and flows.

They are all of three: immune, asymptomatic and symptomatic. Just like everyone else.

Most/all children are either. And it is not that big of a difference, since even when asymptomatic they are rarely infectious.

If you were running 75-80 mile weeks, then you were not quarantining in your apartment. Instead, you risked exposing others to the virus.

Not just age, I think. Age + isolation. A lot of elderly people stop going out much and their immunity logically tanks as a result.

Ironic. Social distancing the cause, not the cure.

not if he was running alone

There is no evidence of this.

Any innate immune system effects would have been present from the start of the pandemic and included in any calculations for R_0, HIT, etc.

(says a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT!!!)

LMAO

cellular immunity has the "innate" effect that nobody knows the person was ever infected. There's nothing to include in any calculations, unless you make stuff up.

Just get out of here you self-righteous low life. The people are waking up and aren't taking this BS anymore. Find something else to feel morally superior about.
