People understand the immune system in particular and systems in general even, if it is only implicitly and and deny it explicitly.
If we can just get people to stay indoors out of the sun and stop exercising...
panic porn!
No sun and no exercise!!! No vitamin D. Bone failures as a result. The new pandemic: Bone Failure, mental breakdowns, and so forth and so on.
Poke here, a bulge pops up somewhere else.
The bright side is less exercise==less CO2. Globe no longer heating up. Food out put drops. Solar industries collapse........................I quit.
Unfortunately, someone we know exercises every day and may get sun at the some time.
My prediction is 1 billion by summer 2021 don't get infected
