1/ Personally, i think that pre-existing immunity argument is very weak, even after all these months. It simply doesn't fit the data & the big picture. We know the profile of people who die & who are most affected worldwide by SARS-CoV-2. It is not the healthy people who suffer.

2/ If the argument / hypothesis would be correct or if pre-ex immunity would play a significant role, then we would be seeing healthy people dying or having problems (in places where there is supposedly none / very little pre-ex immunity) with this virus & yet it doesn't happen.

3/ Healthy people, regardless of age, have no problems at all from this virus. They either have no symptoms or get a mild cold / flu like symptoms for 2-3 days. This suggests, that every healthy person is already de facto immune to SARS-CoV-2. Once again, instead of focusing..

4/ .. on the virus itself, we should instead ask ourselves the question why some people & regions are more impacted than others. So, if pre-existing immunity doesn't play a major role, then what does ? We can clearly see that places with..

5/ .. more ancestral / traditional diets & reliance on meat, fish & animals fare really well against SARS-CoV-2. These places are also more outdoor living societies, less sedentary, more active, with lower BMI. We can clearly see that the biggest impact from the virus occurs..

6/ .. in places where processed foods are most prevalent. Few more things that links all these regions together are: Vitamin D status, BMI, insulin resistance & obesity, indoor living societies, poor diets, nutritional deficiencies, heavily medicated populations, worse general..

7/ .. health of the populations & elderly. It almost looks like the source of nutrition & lifestyle choices determines the future state of health. Who would have thought... I would also pose a question. Is it the virus fault that some humans are in suboptimal state of health ?

8/ Viruses & bacteria are all around us 24/7 during our entire lives & we live in balance with them. Anyone who still thinks that pathogens work, infect & kill people in random fashion hasn't really been paying attention. Maybe we should focus on..

9/ .. properly feeding ourselves & taking care of our bodies and trust the body & immune system that it will do what it was designed when the time comes ? Instead we are constantly applying band aids for every problem without addressing the root cause of..

10/ .. the issues we are dealing with. This is how Big Pharma & almost entire medical structure does business. When you nourish your body & provide it what it needs, then you will get a wide range of benefits, including the protection against the entire spectrum of pathogens.

11/ So, as long as there is a large disparity in population health & well being around the globe, we will keep seeing different kinds of impact in different regions, from both infecious diseases but also from modern diseases of civilization.
