Covid 19 is the disease, not the virus that initiates the disease. What we
are most concerned with the a "cytokine storm" in which the body overreacts
to the virus.  Older folk are more prone to exhibiting a cytokine storm.
It's plausible that acclimating to frequent bee stings may downregulate
one's body's cytokine response.

We'll soon know.  We are only at the beginning of the first wave of covid
in this country.
