It will be interesting to see how the immune response develops for previously covid-naive vaccinated people after their first covid infection. Specifically, does their immune system still adapt to new variants? One of the main arguments of

One of the main causes of death of the new coronavirus seems to be Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). This can be treated fairly effectively with ventilation, but such treatment would obviously require a bed, ventilation system, an
