Previous vaccines and masks may hold down Covid-19, some researchers say

(CNN)As US leaders work to control the spread of coronavirus, researchers across the country -- and globe -- are working to answer the mysteries that remain around infections.

One of those mysteries: why the experience can be so different from person to person. One expert says the answer may involve looking at previous vaccines individuals have had.
"When we looked in the setting of Covid disease, we found that people who had prior vaccinations with a variety of vaccines -- for pneumococcus, influenza, hepatitis and others -- appeared to have a lower risk of getting Covid disease," Dr. Andrew Badley, an infectious disease specialist at Mayo Clinic told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday night.
It's what immunologists call immune training: how your immune system creates an effective response to fight off infections, Badley says.
"A good analogy is to think of your immune system as being a muscle," he said. "The more you exercise that muscle, the stronger it will be when you need it."
There's been no definitive evidence of any other vaccines boosting immunity against Covid-19. But some researchers have suggested it's possible.
In June, a team of researchers in the US proposed giving a booster dose of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to people to see if it helps prevent the most severe effects of coronavirus infections. And last month, researchers found that countries where many people have been given the tuberculosis vaccine Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) had less mortality from coronavirus, a finding that fits with other research suggesting the vaccine can boost people's immunity in general.
But once you're infected, how much of the virus made it into your body could also have an impact on what your experience is, another expert told CNN on Monday.
Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease specialist at University of California, San Francisco, has been working with a team of researchers to understand how more people could go through their infections with minimal or no symptoms. About 40% of people infected with the virus don't have symptoms, according to an estimate last month by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Gandhi's team found masks make a difference.
"What the mask does is really reduce the amount of virus that you get in, if you do get infected," she said. "And by reducing that ... you have a lower dose, you're able to manage it, you're able to have a calm response and you have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all."
So far, more than 5 million Americans have tested positive for the virus and at least 163,473 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
The average number of daily new cases in the US is more than 54,000, down from more than 65,000 per day in mid- to late-July.
Average daily Covid-19 deaths, however, have hovered above 1,000 for more than two weeks. The country had been below that level for seven weeks before that.

 

Up until the last 2-4 years, I never had a flu shot :unsure:

So basically from what I read in your article, kids that picked their nose and ate the boogers will NEVER get sick!

When I was a young adult, I NEVER got sick.  In 2006 I was working in a conference room in Pittsburgh for 5 months with a team of about 30 people and the flu circulated.  I never caught it.

 

I always attributed this to be living in the dirtiest frat house on campus for 4 years.  When you play beer pong on a table right over a sewer drain on almost a nightly basis, you are immune to super aids

My kids have outgrown it but when we used to go, the "BENNY's" made it unbearable.

Oh look another article with false claims and completely unorganized and undocumented "studies.”  All in the name of pumping more drugs into your body so they make more money.

4 brand new cases of Covid-19 found in Auckland, New Zealand, all in one family. Source unknown. City goes straight into lockdown mode, the entire country goes into restrictions.

the residual affect of course is they all go out to eat when they're here. you'd think they never saw a fork before.

I get the flu like once every 4 years or so. I suppose I'm due for it this year because it was about 4 years ago going into this winter 

Last time I had the flu was the 2009 swine flu - that was pretty wicked.

That's why for the longest time I never got the shot.  I rarely got the flu and when I did get it, ok, I feel like crap for 3 days.  NBD.

 

Schmoopie started working for a school and since there are a hundred of those little petri dishes running around, she started getting it and taking me with her.  Her in a school and me in airports every week was a bit much in terms of exposure.

I used to get sick once or twice a year, I have a terrible immune system.  Once my son was old enough to start going to school I got sick more often from him bringing germs home.  I also took some health measures and don't get sick as often and I guess I built up immunity from my son bringing germs home. 

I'm pretty sure I had the rona last Feb, and got better in less than 24 hours after the doctor gave me Tamiflu and steroids.  I haven't been the slightest bit sick since then.  Going forward people need to wear masks all the time whenever they are sick and keep their distance, work from home, etc so they don't get other people sick.  This mentality of powering through and going to work and going out to "tough it out" while you're sick needs to die.  Stay home, if you have to go out wear a mask.  I hope that sticks.

I thought I had the flu back in January but was negative for it. Felt like death. That was also before COVID was in the US

Our office ordered extra flu vaccine this year anticipating a significant bump in the people coming in for one. Let's hope we're right.

Not at all.  Just finding humor in trying to tell us the answer to a completely new virus may be in the vaccines most of us previously had so instead of creating a new vaccine for it (which I believe is next to impossible given that it’s the same virus that creates the common cold which has yet to be eradicated) they tell you to pump yourself full of all those old vaccines again.
