The genes - called IFNAR2, TYK2, OAS1, DPP9 and CCR2 – partially explain why some people become desperately sick with COVID-19, while others are not affected

I wonder if those ancestral DNA kits could test for those genes, would be useful information since anti body tests are not available here. However, good news for finding new treatments.

Interesting; with all the new and existing medications under study or development, hopefully within a few years we'll reach a point where COVID is easily treatable, so even the few cases that slip through the vaccine net can be dealt with without fuss and it will become as unheard of for people to die of it as it now is for Tetanus.
