We all know a “COVID virgin,” or “Novid,” someone who has defied all logic in dodging the coronavirus. But beyond judicious caution, sheer luck, or a lack of friends, could the secret to these people’s immunity be found nestled in their genes? And could it hold the key to fighting the virus?

Hmm I don’t want to tempt fate but I am a Novid - so far anyway. I wonder how many others haven’t caught it yet or at least not had any symptoms?
