In this article the author illustrates that, at this time (ref COVID-19 Delta and Omicron variants), it is the level of the patient’s autonomic response i.e. the state of their autonomic nervous system, which dictates whether the patient’s health will require hospitalisation and could conceivably cause their demise. The author discusses the difference between the autonomic and immune response(s) and illustrates that what is considered to be the immune response may actually be provided by the autonomic nervous system and why a screening technology which can determine the extent of autonomic dysfunction and/or pathological onset can be so important to determine the patient’s redisposition to infection.
Consider also that SARS-COV-2 is a pH sensitive virus. This is significant because it conceivably offers a plausible explanation re why vaccinated populations can be infected with SARS-COV-2, the value of optimising the innate immune response through exercise and hence the need for doctors to emphasise to their patients the need to take steps to be physically active in order to boost their immune response irrespective of whether they have been vaccinated or not, the need for the prevailing statistics to reflect the susceptibility to severe COVID infection of those in the ‘at-risk’ group vs the normally healthy rather than considering the overall population, and the need to recognise the effect of the seasons upon the transmissibility and severity of infection.
