Coronavirus math

Quote: MDawg

If an unvaccinated person doesn't come down with Covid, most likely he was never exposed. The odds that he's one of those rare individuals with natural immunity, is very small.

A vaccinated person might be exposed and catch it but have his system suppress the virus, with the help of the boost from the vaccine.

Just saying that - show me a person who says "I never got Covid" and the likelihood that it means something on the immunity level is much higher if the person was vaccinated.

Substitute "Covid" for say mumps, polio, measles, and the above statements become even more clear.

I am one of those "rare individuals" along with probably several billion others who have natural immunity (not sure the numbers are correct, but I am confident that there are several billion people in this world who have not caught COVID and not been vaccinated). I do not catch colds. COVID is a related virus.

Unless you were tested for covid antibodies soon after this event where you believe you were exposed and yet your body suppressed the coronavirus, you can't know that you were exposed at all.

The lucky few to never get coronavirus could teach us more

Unless your Juris doctor law degree has been expanded to include an M.D. in immunotherapy or a Ph.D. in microbiology, your post is misleading and meaningless.

I also have a natural immunity to peanut and shell fish allergies. How about you??

So then it's another of your "it's because I say so that it must be" - like when you posted about how Banks notify the IRS when large checks are deposited? I know your IRS statement was in error, and I contend that this statement of yours is without proof that it is as a result of immune response.

Unless you were tested for antibodies right after you contend you were exposed but cleared the coronavirus, how can you know whether you were infected at all.

If I believe it, then I can be it.

Babble…. ‘Immunity to peanut and shellfish allergies’?? There is no such thing. Either you are allergic to something or you aren’t.

But your concept is correct. Some people will not get sick with the same exposure that would kill others.

MDawg is also correct. No way to be sure about ‘if you had it’ without testing.

So then those giant wins at bac are really tax free because you do not get W-2G's and the IRS is never notified unless you self-report. You stated in a previous post that you paid your taxes which is fine, but do they (IRS) avail themselves of the MDawg challenge or do you do it for free?

I did not say large checks I stated what a bank officer relayed to me that his bank notifies the IRS of deposits or withdrawals in excess of $10k.

I do volunteer work for a local food bank and several of the volunteers came down with COVID with a couple being hospitalized. I wasn't affected or infected. Great genes.

You cannot know whether you were infected, since a large percentage of people are asymptomatic, and in the case of Omicron, most of those infected have no idea they were infected.

As for me, I had the CV, as confirmed by a home-testing swab kit, but it was a very mild case. About as inconvenient as the common cold. 48 hours of some discomfort and that was it.

I suspect I have a very low sensitivity to just about everything, including poison ivy and poison oak. Note I'm not using the word immunity.

No particular point, just my two cents.

And, YOU cannot know that I have the natural immunity. Your post is meaningless.
