its all about the virus! but without the human body the virus can do
nothing, so to say!

so there must be an interaction between those two!
they now only look what the virus does. are there any studies/or articles
that look at the other way around!
they look from the action of the human body, not from the virus!

maybe this amateur talks rubbish, but is a diffrent look at it!

Your immune system is a function of general health NOT some wonder virus.

No two people have the same level of immune response and immune
suppression has been with us throughout history.

Your approach is simplistic but in essense correct.

Huh? Wow, and you like to think of yourself as an expert?

What does the immune system do? What does it consist of?

A complex system. Suppression of the immune system is as vague a term
as hyperactivation of the immune system. Both conditions occur. They
can be caused by all sorts of things.

A specific depletion of CD4 cells AIN'T normal and almost 100% of the
time is associated with infection by HIV-1 or HIV-2. At least these
days. Prior retroviral pandemics may have been more limited
geographically if the zoonotic theory is correct and burned through to
a state of immune resistance/tolerance over a few generations. (Hence
HERVs?)

Today, with a far more readily connected set of interactions between
previously disparate populations, a global pandemic is occurring.
