I’m still clumsy at embedding Tweets. The above tweet with its link, was re-tweeted by someone I follow, Justin Hart. The link takes you to a study that has not been peer reviewed. However, when it does get reviewed, it should change the way we, and by that I mean the entire species, deal with COVID-19 in the immediate sense as well as moving forward.
Again, if reviewed to be true, exposure to the common cold may have given people immunity, or at least a better recovery path, from this “current culprit.” This also means, according to the virologists in the study, vaccines, therapies or simply – “ways,’” to deal with COVID-19, can possibly be achieved, by harnessing our body’s current fighters, from having had the common cold, instead of just the specific fighters, (antibodies) from recovering from COVID-19. (Clumsily explained, I know)
Here’s an article that narrates the above study in more layman’s terms.
