[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 173893, member: 38594"] Women are known to have a more reactive immune system (more allergies for example) and they do better with COVID-19. However children are considered having a weak immune system and most do not get complications from the virus so it doesn't seem to be a question of how "strong" the immune system is. Patients die of COVID-19 typically from pneumonia and septic shock when the immune system overreacts and the hyper inflammation damages multiple organs. Some of the clinical trials use corticosteroids or [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]immunosuppressive[/COLOR] drugs (tocilizumab - drug suppressing inflammatory cytokin IL-6 against arthritus): [URL='https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma-asia/china-turns-roche-arthritis-drug-actemra-against-covid-19-new-treatment-guidelines']China turns Roche arthritis drug Actemra against COVID-19 in new treatment guidelines[/URL] I personally have HIV suppressed by drugs but my immune system has not recovered fully. I have observed multiple times that every single time I increase my free testosterone (Androgel, HCG, or Anastrozole) or try an anabolic steroid (Proviron, DHEA, Ostarine, Oxandrolone) I get signs of decreased immunity: abnormally low white blood cell count and neutrophil count, slight headaches with some fever, angular cheilitis, ulcerated sore throat without stuffed nose and without coughing, and cold sores on lips. Of course my case is more complicated because it is a 4-body interaction between the HIV virus, HIV meds, my immune system, and the androgenic compound I take and my experience may not be applicable to HIV negative men.
