Covid and genetics

Interesting article on BBC news website about a study done on the genetics of people who have had covid which shows a correlation between certain faulty genes and severity of the illness. This could explain why some otherwise healthy people have got it really badly, whereas others barely felt it. They also think that it could lead to finding new treatments for covid.

Can't link to it so just search "Covid: Genes hold clues to why some people get severely ill".

From the land of haribos.

It sais the same on the who site that those with underlying problems will get it more, whilst most others will get mild symptoms of it.

It's interesting and potentially hopeful. The options for more personalised, earlier appropriate treatments are great. The amount that has been learned this year is phenomenal. . It's likely to take many years imo for the bulk of countries to have this monster under control, so all developments are good, if they can aid treatment plans and save lives

I think this is what so many who have expressed not wanting to take the vaccine for now have been hoping for.

The scientists are still learning more each day about the virus and hopefully different ways of treating will come into play in the near future too.

I agree, a positive thing that has come out of all this is the light that has been shone on all the amazing scientists we are lucky to have working on this and learning for us. One of the big worries with Brexit was the decrease in funding towards science and research, which I hope will be prioritised more after all this.

Yep, will be good for countries where it is much more logistically challenging to inoculate high numbers of their population.

Personally though I do still think that, wherever possible, prevention is better than cure.

Just hope it's not too late for them

Why will it be? These other treatments have been going on from the same time, granted less money has been given to them for reasons we don't need to go into but there's breakthroughs being made. Possibly better in the long run with these than replication of vaccines.

To reply to Amber yes it is yet another positive that the pandemic has provide. Many of which have yet to be realised. When change happens there are negatives but there are also positives. The positives are what provides hope and looking forward to creating something new.
