to have been addressed. I suspect it's essentially because those vagaries are not really very well known.

Before this, things like getting colds or the flu didn't seem to vary wildly from person to person. Maybe they really did, but we never quite noticed. But Covid has put a spotlight on different responses.

I happen to be an amazingly healthy person. Yes, I'm vaccinated and boosted, and I've worn a facemask lots of the time. I also live alone, don't go out very much, although I do my own grocery shopping and occasionally go to a restaurant with a friend. I have not gotten Covid, unless I've had it and been totally asymptomatic, which I honestly doubt has happened. I suspect it's the relative lack of contact with others that's at work here. Those I know who've gotten it are far more connected to the outside world than I am. I realize that others cannot reduce contact to my level.
