I have a current theory that your health (including mental) and the chance of catching co-vid 19 does depend upon your majority thinking patterns. You have 3 choices
- Contemplating established scientific facts and what you will do about them.
- Thinking through Conspiracy Theories and how you will increase numbers who believe in any of them.
- Helping people to change between the two
Which are you? I am 3 (2-> 1)

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Your health is almost a different factor - possibly unrelated - to your chances of Catching COVID19.
It depends on your social mixing; not the 3 variables you've given.
Whether you're scientific or pseudo-scientific..
.if you mix and mingle with people you increase your chances of "catching" it.
Scientific folk might have an attitude of "I'll catch it - isolate - then avoid sharing it with health-compromised that I know.
Or they're good at social isolation; they wear masks, avoid contact with suspicious (sickly) people and avoid catching it.
Or they might have wise protective equipment.
Or they might be fanatically/obsessively clean.
There's too many variables to say they're related.

" too many variables"... the age old science destroyer.
"Whether you're scientific or pseudo-scientific." I would prefer to say "Whether you're scientific or not" let us not give an status to the pseudo-scientific.
@Mcflewster It's a continuum.
There's no fine line to distinguish between intensely scientific, sort of scientific, pseudo-scientific, and unscientific.
To think so is in itself "unscientific" -
You may enjoy reading this;
@Mcflewster And notice that I'm the only one commenting on your ideas. Perhaps you need to broaden your outlook? Your ideas are too "eccentric"....IMO.
@Robecology I am nevertheless grateful. I do have an actual desire to be OFF centric. As are my own special countrymen. Is that wrong?
Are the outlooks offensive? .
I am not sure whether you can get told the number of followers that I have in UK and US. Not that I am too bothered myself.
@Robecology That's me Test, Testing, Test-a-lot.
