What occurs if the immune system did not respond to the influenza virus or a cold virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Live or let die: This would be highly unusual since there are reserve system in the body to fight against virus. If you have absolutely no immune response, then you will have to wait till the virus dies out or kills you in the interim. However this scenario would be a highly unlikely one.
