Sep 12, 2022 · A small number of people appear naturally immune to the coronavirus. Scientists think they might hold the key to helping protect us all.
Jan 23, 2023 · The study says that while most global research has focused on understanding why some people get severely ill, or die, from COVID, it’s also vital to understand why a small population doesn’t get it at all, or shows no symptoms when infected.
Feb 3, 2022 · Key Points. An increasing amount of research is being devoted to the reasons why some people never seem to get Covid — a so-called never Covid cohort. There are multiple anecdotes of Covid cases...
Apr 4, 2022 · Most of us know someone who has managed to dodge catching COVID-19, despite being in a household with people who are sick. What makes some of us more resistant than others?
Apr 21, 2022 · Experts stressed that research to determine why some people get COVID-19 while others don’t is still very much underway, and no one should rely on any of the hypotheses for protection.
Feb 9, 2023 · But understanding the genetic mutations that make someone resistant to COVID could provide valuable insight into how SARS-CoV-2 infects people and causes disease.
Feb 13, 2023 · The COVID Human Genetic Effort, led by researchers in the US, has recruited people with known exposure to the virus, but who haven't had it themselves. This includes, for example, healthcare workers or people who lived in a household with a confirmed case of COVID-19.
Mar 8, 2022 · For one, understanding why someone might not get Covid-19 becomes more difficult as factors like vaccinations, boosters and prior infections now play a role in how people fare against the virus.
