Based on what, exactly?

Based on it being three years so far. Maybe I underestimate just how much modern medicine sucks at discovering things, but I thought we'd be further along by now.

We already know some of the factor. But not all of them But without knowing all the factors, you can only get a higher or lower risk due to certain things Even with ALL the factors, it would be the same And there will always be luck There will never not be luck Because the body does different things every time Thats why its not always exactly the same every time you get sick Sometimes, you body handles it better or worse, for example Things change in you body that you dont even know about sometimes When we get checks up at the doctor, they check a lot of things we dont check in the daily So, you wont always know something changed And even then, youre always rolling the dice You need to understand that higher and lower risk arent exact numbers because health and people in general dont work like that Luck always plays a part, whether you like it or not And what we said was what you were asking wasnt a mystery Those things have been answered But there is always more to find The way you were posting sounded like you thought they knew next ton nothing about COVID, when thats far from the truth

Again, I know we know some of the factors. I've already said I'm pretty sure we should know more.

And if we did somehow have all the factors, ALL of the factors? Then there wouldn't be luck. Because we would know everything that can possibly happen to risk/prevent an infection. And then we can compare that to each case to narrow down what happened. Even factors like the different things the body does from time to time. If we know what those different things are, if we know what meaningful changes the body can go through that affect the likelihood of infection, and if we can determine that a person went through one of those changes, we can say "This affected your likelihood of infection."

But we don't know that yet. Like you said, there's still more to find. So no, these things have not been answered yet.

We will always be scratching our head a little because nothing is exact So people have better responses against the virus That could just be his genetics Or when he got treated Or a smaller viral load, or he was vaccinated You assume that dont know how the 65 year old patient survived But maybe they do But since they cant just give out a persons medical history to random people, youd probably ever know If were talking about hypotheticals, it doesnt really help since anything can happen. How do you know they dont understand why the 65 year old cancer patient survived? You dont The doctors may know he had a high chance for many reasons And they are trying to figure out this stuff z you keep talking like they arent doing it This is why people dont understand what you want You say they should be finding out this stuff But thats exactly what they are doing So, if you agree them at they are still researching, then there was no actual point on you making this topic except to troll Research doesnt happen overnight Research takes a long time Just because you dont hear every discovery made doesnt mean they arent researching

I made this topic to say that I expected us to not be asking why glaringly risky cases are surviving the virus. I thought we'd know that by now. So if we don't, I think we should do more to figure that out.

And then came all that talk about how there was nothing to figure out and how everything's been answered. It clearly hasn't been answered.

We do know more More than we knew when we first started. So, what do you mean by we should know more They can only do so much research at a time

Not more than what we knew when we first started, we should know more than we currently know. I expected us to know more about this by now.

You're vastly underestimating the complexity of biology. Hell, we're still trying to fully understand something as "simple" as the flow of water.

If we weren't able to learn what factors affect how you'll respond to the virus, we'd know literally nothing about risk factors. So clearly biology isn't so complex that we can't learn anything. We've learned some things. I just think we should know more things.
