Ok, thanks for the explanation. I hope they can develop something to battle it at DNA level.
Reminds me of that e-coli bacteria that "remembers" the DNA of the virus that attacked him, so next time the virus attacks the e-coli can fight back. Maybe we should start researching which virus and bacteria hate each other. So we can chose our own poison.

But doesn't that what the crispr Cas9 do? You program the bacteria to look for a specific DNA in human and cut it. What if we program the bacteria instead of looking for human DNA to cut it looks for virus DNA to destroy/attack? Just thinking out loud. All the knowledge I know about genetics are just from podcasts and Netflix.

allowing it is one thing.
encouraging it is another thing.
funding it is something else.
personally,
i believe we still know very little about this bug.
i am in favor of widespread testing.
i just do not know where to get the money to do it.
i feel some people have innate resistance against the virus.
i would like to know, why.

2009 H1N1 Pandemic (H1N1pdm9 virus) | Pandemic Influenza (Flu) | CDC
In the spring of 2009, a novel influenza A (H1N1) virus emerged. It was detected first in the United States and spread quickly across the United States and the world. This new H1N1 virus contained a unique combination of influenza genes not previously identified in animals or people. This virus was designated as influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus. Ten years later work continues to better understand influenza, prevent disease, and prepare for the next pandemic.
“Did anyone ask US to apologize for 2009 H1N1 outbreak?” China fires back at Fox News host – shanghaiist
China has been triggered enough by the comments of one smarmy Fox News host that it called him out during a Foreign Ministry press conference.
On Monday’s episode of The Five, professional provocateur Jesse Watters suggested, half-jokingly, that the Chinese government ought to apologize for the Covid-19 virus outbreak that has infected more than 95,000 people around the globe.
“I’d like to ask to the Chinese government for a formal apology. This coronavirus originated in China and I have not heard one word from the Chinese,” Watters said to chuckles. “A simple ‘I’m sorry’ would do. It would go a long way.”
When his co-host Dana Perino asked, “What if the outbreak had started here?” Watters was quick to shoot down that hypothetical.
“It didn’t start here, Dana, and I’ll tell you why it started in China. Because they have these markets where they’re eating raw bats and snakes. They are a very hungry people,” he said to growing laughter.
“The Chinese Communist government cannot feed the people and they are desperate. This food is uncooked, it is unsafe, and that is why, scientists believe, that’s where it originated from.”
“And according to The New York Times, Dana, the Chinese government has been very deceitful and deceptive in the communicating the extent of the infections to the world,” Watters concluded. “So, as I said, tomorrow I will expect an apology.”
Of course, China has not issued an apology. Instead, Watters was called out during a Foreign Ministry presser on Thursday.
“Did anyone ask the US to apologize for the 2009 H1N1 outbreak that has spread to 214 countries and regions and killed at least 18,449 people?” rhetorically asked spokesperson Zhao Lijian.
The rebuke has been echoed by Chinese state media.
Watters has never been one to shy away from racist stereotypes.
He got in a bit of trouble back in 2016 for a particularly appalling segment in which he visited New York’s Chinatown, asking Chinese people about their well-known penchant for karate and bowing, making fun of their accents, and totally owning one elderly woman who couldn’t understand his question.
