🦠New research has revealed that some forms of the common cold can offer protection against Covid-19.

This is thanks to residual infection-fighting T-cells that prevent the virus from taking hold

Thread 🧵👇
telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
The study, by UCL monitored a group of 750 healthcare workers in the first wave of the pandemic.

➡️They found that 58 never tested positive, despite being in a high risk environment
🗣️“We think people (who resisted the infection) already had some T-cells from previous infections,” says Professor Mala Maini.

“And that allowed them to mount a very quick response that could abort the infection”

🔴 In October 1981, a man took his last short breaths at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.

Doctors noted his cause of death as a rare form of pneumonia.

But for 40 years neither he, nor the disease that truly killed him, have been publicly named

🔴For all this time, the 49-year-old has remained a medical mystery, referred to simply as ‘Patient Zero’.

"Now, we can finally call him by something else," writes Paul Brand

"His name was John Eaddie and he is believed to be the first person to have died with AIDS in Britain"
📅 Paul Brand has spent three months tracing his story for an ITV documentary, which will mark four decades of the AIDS epidemic in the UK.
