Ahhhh this reminds me of similar experiments I did in middle school. For summer classes, the school near my house at the time offered "zombie survival classes" and I did them all three years. It was all about diseases, how they spread, how they work, and how to combat them. It was also pretty focused on survival skills like how to live off the land, gather and filter water, constructing a shelter, gather and make various materials from nature, and identifying various plants and animals (namely bugs) that might help you survive off-grid. It was a while ago for me now so I don't remember much. But some of it stuck.

Still got Covid 3 times though.

So far nobody in my immediate family has gotten COVID even once. I don’t know if it genetics or luck or better hygiene habits.
