Does trying to live healthy make sense considering an imminent bird flu outbreak?

Because even a well-functioning immune system cannot protect you from a novel virus. That’s not how immune systems work.

Then how come people with stronger immune system have a much lower chance of dying from COVID-19?

Hello! Sorry for sticking my oar in.

I feel you're kind of mixing two things.

There's the 'Group' numbers. As in 'Group A is demonstratably healthier than group B. Here are how many people dropped off the twig in either group'.

Then there's 'Here are two individuals and lets see how they fare'.

In the two group thing you probably will get the 'healthier' group having more people surviving through to the recovering side compared to the other group.

Between the two individuals? That's up too lots of different, random things.

Potentiall in both examples people will DIE.

It's the dying part that's the bad thing.

It's complicated and basically we should be doing everything we can to not have people snuff it.  

Cheers.

Not at work.
