I've also heard a hypothesis that infection with a common cold at the same time as COVID-19 could improve the outcome. The idea is that COVID-19 seems to suppress interferon production in infected cells but does not seem to suppress the response to interferon from outside the cells. So, if you have a normal cold, your lungs and/or airways might contain interferons, and those might help your innate immune system defend against COVID-19. This hypothesis is entirely untested as far as I know. |
