COMMENTARY
This excellent video is well worth watching and listening to. It revisits how the immune system, both innate and adaptive responds to SARS CoV and other viruses.
It shows graphically how long the body takes to clear the the Covid 19 virus.
And it makes me, a susceptible 88 year old, even more alert to infection. We should keep our guards up.
Even if an effective vaccine is found, it will probably take its place, incorporated into influenza vaccine as an annual immunization.
