Some people seem to get a lot of colds? are such people more susceptible to the novel coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different immunity: Multiple factors (genetics, meds, Co-existing disease, diet, sleep, exercise habits) affect ones immunity to diseases. There are several types of coronaviruses & some cause colds, so it seems logical that a person more prone to colds would also be prone to COVID 19 & should probably be extra careful (handwashing wear mask, avoid going unless absolutely needed)
