As the world comes to the realization that COVID19 is here to stay, because of no early tapering off of the disease, we would have to shape our lives around preventive measures like social distancing, wearing mask, hands hygiene, sanitisation and a collective effort to avoid the spread of the disease by enhancing our immune system.
Our immune system is the body's basic defence against the infections, and it comes in two parts-
The first is known as the innate immune response which includes the release of chemicals that cause inflammation and white blood cells that can destroy infected cells. It is always ready to go and leaps into action as soon as any foreign invader is detected in the body.
The second is adaptive immune response which includes cells that produce targeted antibodies that can stick to the virus to stop it and T cells which can attack just the infected cells with the virus. If we have a stronger immune system, it will start making antibodies that can target the coronavirus and the sickest patients can develop the strongest immune response.
