Moyong points out that researchers are in the process of finding answers. Because of good posture or resistance genes, 20% of Thai people are still not infected with COVID-19. Even though some people were exposed to the disease a lot but were not infected.
28 Mar. 2023 – Dr. Yong Phuwarawan, Head of the Center, Specializing in Clinical Virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Post a message on Facebook regarding “Novid who has never been infected with COVID” with the following details.
“Many people who are in close contact with COVID-19 patients And then not been COVID for the past 3 years, for example, family members are COVID, mothers and children are very close to each other, but not attached to people who work with a lot of people. difficult to avoid For example, in entertainment venues, markets, touching a large number of people. It hasn’t been COVID for the past 3 years, so the word “Novid” was given.
Not all infections are the same, differing since they are asymptomatic. There were very few symptoms until pneumonia and death from blood tests and history taking. It is estimated that regarding 20% of the Thai population has not yet been infected with COVID (not including small children under 2 years old).
In this 20%, some people may practice strictly. so it’s still not stuck But some people are exposed to the disease a lot, why don’t they get infected?
Researchers are interested in genetics, for example, HIV has specific genes that resist HIV cell entry. In COVID, it is still unknown if there are genes for resistance to COVID, and if so, what “genes”, what is the mechanism? Is the immunity from vaccination involved? Or a group of Novids already infected with fewer symptoms Unchecked or undetected, it may not be long. Research to find new knowledge. will be able to answer these riddles.
