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.
Mar 22, 2022 · Researchers are trying to understand why some people never get COVID-19 despite exposure. One study is exploring whether genetic factors play a role in making someone immune to the virus. Another study investigated preexisting immunity, potentially brought on by infections with other coronaviruses. Scientists are looking into what makes someone ...
Feb 13, 2023 · Unfortunately, we still don't know why some people have managed to avoid COVID-19 for so long. Science takes time. We saw research occur at unprecedented speed in 2020 to understand SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and to develop treatments and vaccines.
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.
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.
Apr 21, 2022 · Many studies are underway to test different hypotheses about why some people just haven’t gotten the coronavirus. Could they have better immune systems or maybe a genetic difference that ...
Mar 11, 2023 · Scientists are trying to determine if some people have rare genetic variants that make them resistant to SARS-CoV-2 infection, a finding that could lead to better ways to stop the virus.
