Hello again ladies

As we know our immune systems differ from men's because we need to nurture a baby plus  autoimmune disorders are more common in women. If our immune systems are more sensitive we may have a fast initial  response to the virus but we also need to swiftly down regulate or risk autoimmune disease.  I understand that we become more prone to chronic inflammation as we age which can be another risk factor.

As I have said I am no scientist I'm just repeating what I've read and there is certainly a lot to learn.

Take care everyone.
