You know how, usually when you catch a cold it's a while--

Usually several months—before you get another? At least that’s how it is with me and friends I’ve talked to about this.

Someone who’s recently had flu, would it provide any immunity to Covid 19?

1. No.

Flu is a human virus. Covid is an animal virus. Completely different critters.

2. Because coronavirus is so new they're still

discovering things about it. From what all the medical experts are saying, hand washing, not touching your face and social distancing are the best ways to stay healthy.

3. just like if you hadn't gotten a flu shot - you could

get both strains of the flu (A and B) in the same year at different times. And even if you did get the vaccine, you might still get sick, though with a milder case.

Note also that there are currently 2 strains of the covid-19 flu. I don't think anyone knows whether you can recover from one and catch the other. Or even if you could get both at once.

4. No, it's a totally different virus.
