    Dengue Fever Suffers Have Immunity To Covid

    Dengue fever may provide some immunity against Covid-19, study suggests | London Evening Standard

    People who have suffered from dengue fever may have a degree of immunity against coronavirus, a new study suggests.

    Scientists analysing the pandemic in Brazil found a link between the spread of Covid-19 and exposure to the mosquito-transmitted illness.

    Probably if you've had Ebola, Smallpox and Rabies you are immune too.

      Not looked at the numbers, but does this mean countries that have a prevalence of dengue have lower rates of CV19 compared to northern countries?

      Thanks for sharing - will have a look at this later.

        Probably because you’re dead.

          It's certainly the case that it's quite rare to have two virus infections simultaneously. E.g. 'flu and a cold caused by a rhinovirus.

            Must explain something, I've had Malaria, ATBF, suspected rabies (got the multiple injections in the stomach) and apparently a variation of Green Monkey Disease (although I find that one hard to stomach) all while living in Africa many years ago

                Flu and covid-19 together is deadly

                    I know that's why I've booked a flu jab like thousands of others.
