"Maybe I'm superhuman": Why some people still haven’t had Covid

Three years into the pandemic there are still people who (as far as they know) have never contracted or tested positive for Covid. They’re called ‘novids’ and right now there’s an international, first-of-its-kind study underway into why these people have dodged the rona. Is there a genetic basis for this or are they just lucky?

In this episode, we speak to our social media producer Sarah Bol, who has never caught covid and Adrian Esterman Chair of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of South Australia.

Headlines:

- Aussies back Super changes
- Trump’s support diminished at conservative event
- World Pride wraps up
- NRL: Dream start for new the Dolphins
- Chris Rock hits back at Will Smith in comedy special
