Thanks Amy, that is very interesting. I did see some research from a few years back where they were trying to give volunteers a cold for some other research reasons, and then found it wasn't as easy as just exposing someone to the germs, they then pivoted to looking into why they could not make everyone get the cold. Sounds similar.

In my husband's case (covid Nov 2020) I think it was his low level of vit D. He also lost a lot of weight over the summer (45 kg) and I believe depleted vitamins and minerals. Avid crossfit guy who unlike me spent a lot of time outdoors still managed to get covid.

Both of our children (one 3 month old at the time) and I never got covid - but we are also very diligent about supplementing (baby got vit D through my milk). Husband started taking my vitamin D3 (solgar 10,000 iu) as part of his covid treatment - Z pack, xarelto, aspirin, ibuprofen, controloc, steroids.
