Who won’t get sick with coronavirus even if they have close contact with the patient
According to doctors, a certain category of people may never get sick with coronavirus. In particular, these are people who are prone to frequent colds. They produce T cells that help protect against COVID-19.
Few people remember about T-cells or T-lymphocytes from biology lessons. However, to understand their importance for immunity, it is worth mentally returning to school desks. These are immune cells whose main task is to detect and neutralize pathogens that have entered the cells or to destroy the infected cells themselves. Proteins on the surface of T cells combine with proteins on the surface of uninvited guests in the body, destroying them in this way. According to doctors, existing T cells produce antibodies, forming immunity to the coronavirus.
“T-cells which produce antibodies. But these are all theories. If we look at people who have traveled a lot, there will be fewer such people among those who have contracted coronavirus, ” Boris Bril said.
The doctor suggested that people who often had colds are less likely to catch the coronavirus. This is directly related to the” experience ” of the body in resisting diseases.
“Of course! Do you know why when children get sick, there is nothing wrong with it? There is nothing wrong with small children, I’m sorry, licking the floor. Do you know why they do this? To protect yourself, to earn immunity. There are moms who wrap their children up and start treating them at the first snot. Let the kids get sick! They accumulate the immune system”, — said Brill.
Also, the doctor once again reminded how to raise the immune system. According to him, you should try not to drink alcohol, exclude cigarettes and play sports.
