Interesting info on long-term Covid 19 cases. This virus appears to be one of - 'do what I want to the body - when I want and how I want'. Scarey!

Herd immunity seems to be a difficult definition which includes both natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity.

Why...is the news not bombarded with ways to raise individual immunity?  That seems to me to be the bottom line for fighting ANY bacteria or virus?  To be as healthy as possible thus letting our own bodies do the job for which they are intended - and CAN do; to fight off pathogens.
