Are some people naturally Covid-proof? Scientists around the world are studying the phenomenon of health workers and others who are regularly exposed to the disease but have yet to become infected

Mounting evidence suggests some people are naturally Covid-resistant - even as virus

t's a common yet curious tale: a household hit by Covid, but one family member never tests positive or gets so much as a sniffle.

Meanwhile there are those who have had Covid and been double-jabbed and boosted, yet still pick up the virus again.

As infections continue to soar in the new Omicron wave – an astonishing one in 25 people in England have Covid, according to Office for National Statistics data – cases of people who managed to stay free of the infection become ever more remarkable. Is it sheer luck? Some kind of superpower?

Now scientists may have an answer: there is mounting evidence that some people are naturally Covid-resistant.

For reasons not fully understood, it's thought that these people were already immune to the Covid virus, and they remain so even as it mutates.

The phenomenon is now the subject of intense research across the world.

Nasim Forooghi (pictured), 46, a cardiac research nurse at St Bartholomew's Hospital in Central London, has been potentially exposed to hundreds of people infected with Covid since the start of the pandemic, but has had a succession of antibody tests which found no trace of the virus ever being in her system

And at University College London (UCL), scientists are studying blood samples from hundreds of healthcare staff who – seemingly against all odds – avoided catching the virus (file image)

Comment by Stephen Bourdeau on January 22, 2022 at 5:43am: Here the information about Covid in detail would be updated to all. I hope after the information the number of people able to explore and protect themselves as well. Now omicron wave of covid is quite dangerous and stronger than previous one. The people should adopt rushmyessay.co.uk review and the latest safety rules to protect others and themselves too.

Comment by mr1stroke on January 1, 2022 at 11:05pm: I have yet to catch that made up virus, and I don't believe in their nonsense vaccine neither, some of us are our own doctors by taking care of our bodies before that covid talk started, I know my body temperature, I know how long a cold suppose to last, I know when it is the flu, I continue to do my physical like I used to, I exercise more and eat even better than before, these days people don't catch cold any more, as soon as they cough or sneeze they are told they got covid, idiots listen to anything the white men with agenda tell them to do, and you have negros who wants to sounds important and intelligent repeating the same dumb thing, it's easy to tell the idiot negros, they will all repeat the same things they hear on Tv of from that old f***** Dr Fauci but none of them can tell you about something they research on their own or what they discover about that dumb virus, they repeat what ever they read. I questioned my doctor, I ask her question she cannot answer, I study and research what she says, that vaccine is a business, now the new business is the home test, who are the companies making them, well good luck to those who so believe, I'm sure you have the facts of the numbers they tell you about every day
