NOVID's Theory About To Be Tested

 They call them NOVID's, or people who have so far managed to avoid the Covid infection which wreaked so much havoc since 2020 and i am one despite being a key worker and out and mingling all the way through lock-down but as to why i have not gone down with the disease, well that will be more luck than anything else but science thinks its down to genetics.
Almost two thirds of the UK Population have tested positive for COVID at least once and one theory why some people have avoided infection is that despite actually being exposed to it, they lack the receptors needed for the virus to gain access to cells and are therefore unable to replicate to any great degree in the first place.
All this could be tested as COVID data indicates a massive surge in cases with a million new cases this month, mostly in the South West and Wales, and Boots the Chemist are reporting sales of tests have jumped by more than a third this month and hospitals are reporting a small uptick of people admitted to hospital with COVID.
The UK Health Protection Agency has announced that they are keeping an eye on the situation and blame waning immunity but we were warned that we would have to live with it which is exactly what we are now doing so it may be time to dig out those masks and sanitizing hand gel again.
