Question

a space rock hits a town carring a virus from space no one has ever been exposed to everyone dies except for a 6 month old baby who suffer from colic and a homeless man who is an alcoholic. Why do these two survive while everyone else dies. Explain the mechanism that allow them to survive. why are these mechanisms different.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure they had different pH levels than the rest of the population. The baby with colic had high levels of acidity in it's stomach, so the environment was not conducive to the reproduction of the virus. The same can be said for the alcoholic... higher blood alcohol levels alters the pH levels.
