I just had a discussion with a friend of mine and one of his relatives is a doctor in USA in critical care. One factor that is being singled out is that people who have had BCG (TB) vaccination are not having lung problems when they get corona. They might get all the other 1/4
symptoms but their lungs remain unaffected. In countries like India, Pakistan, Africa BCG immunization is done as standard protocol. This also explains that even the people who have died in Pakistan from Corona never needed a ventilator. Their lungs were perfectly fine. 2/4
Even now not a single patient in Pakistan is on a ventilator. It seems that TB vaccine has a protective effect on lungs and the coronavirus cannot attack the lungs. I did some research to see which countries dont do BCG vaccinations and have never done them in the past as well.
There are only two such countries - USA and Italy. The other country that did it only for 15 years and then discontinued is Spain. So if this theory pans out, it will be very good news for us. For us it will just be a bad case of flu..Lets see. 4/4

People can be put on ventilators other than typical corona symptoms like real pneumonia if that develops in them but corona related lungs symptoms didn’t develop in them the friend told.
