Meanwhile, the point I stopped caring about Covid was when my diabetic, tobacco-chewing grandpa and "has always had a weak immune system since she was a baby" grandma got it, and both of them came out the other side comparatively intact.
That was when I realized that there is no real rhyme or reason to this damn virus, its apparently a weak bitch until it isnt, and it is only through sheer hubris that we think we can control it, so we should just go back to living our lives.
we're reasonably certain my (now) 94 year old grandma had it at the start of 2020. she was in florida and "a bad flu" went through my aunt and uncle's old people neighborhood there.
We think my brother had it as well. He was in the Army at the time, and had to be taken out of the field training they were doing due to have some "unknown virus" causing "extreme Pneumonia." And he said that all of the medics and doctors were utterly confused and had no idea what he had in terms of the virus, just what it was doing. This was in Nov. 2019. When the outbreaks were happening, he had no less than 4 times that he was placed in quarantine because literally everyone around him tested positive for Covid, but he never got it. That was around the time the lightbulb turned on and he went "hang on a minute..."
As for myself, the only idea I have is that around the same time (Dec. 2019) some "unknown flu-like virus" tore through the warehouse I work at and damn near half the plant was out at one point. And when they came back, most people said they felt super tired and coughed like crazy, but not much else. I was one of the only ones who didnt have anything happen. I am pretty confident that was Covid in retrospect. As for me not getting it, I remember some studies back when it all started and they were actually taking science to it that said that those with O-Type blood had natural immunity, and considering I have O+ blood...
Apparently nicotine actually protects people... so there's that.
But it looks like if you have a vitamin/mineral deficiency is the main thing. You can easily survive the regular flu even with deficiencies, but this more effective flu if you are low on A/D/zinc/etc then you're in big trouble.
Interesting considering how prevalent smoking is in China...
edit: actually I don't smoke, can I take nicotine in some other form like as a supplement? I'd been considering taking up chewing nicotine gum but it seems like most products are designed to make it taste shitty to ween you off.
Well, I don't intend to take up smoking, but as a preventative health measure I think maybe nicotine could prove helpful? I'm already taking zinc supplements and whatnot.

Most of this stuff is just healthy diet and stuff that will help with any infection of anything.

I mean you could take nicotine for covid, but it's also a big cause of smoking cancers. Horse paste would be a better choice for sure.
