I was talking with Macs cousin in Brookline tonight who is a brilliant woman in her own right. It is her son who is in Chile, who had covid and whose new bride is an ICU physician. She did not get covid. She did not take precautions as their apartment is small. She did not get covid. She thought she must have antibodies. After being tested, she did not.
This is true for my son whose now fiancé did not get covid from him. Nor did my grandson. It is also true of multiple couples Macs cousin knows…..one being a cancer patient on chemo who lost his wife to covid but did not get it
So the question She asked is .,,.rather than look at those who did not get covid and wonder why, do we look at those who have covid but do not spread it.
There are some articles out there with the same question. I wondered if you had seen any of this in your research
See if this is of interest — my daughter sent it along.
Thank you, Jean!!! This is exactly what I meant. I will have to read a few more times. My guess is Mac’s cousin is reading the scientific journals. I am not.
Her son was in a room with 9 others (including his bride) plus the person who performed the wedding ceremony. Yes, they wore masks. But not one other person tested positive. I wondered what My son’s now fiance has that she did not become infected as well as my grandson. The apartment is tiny.
I think Mac’s cousin may have a good point that the thought has been what does the person who is not becoming infected have that prevents infection. Perhaps, we need to look at what the person who did not spread the disease had that keeps it from spreading to close contacts.
I appreciate your link and will send it to Mac’s cousin. I also sure appreciate having Joshua here to help explain much that surely I don’t have the knowledge to understand.
Joshua – yet another question…..or more accurately looking for your input.
