A member asked:
Are people who are exposed to lots of pathogens all the time even animal pathogens, like a veterinarian or zookeepe less likely to contract the novel coronavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Interesting thought though. Unfortunately this infection is novel which means it is different to all of the other infections that someone may have had.
