Covid Infection
If you have been infected, that means your first line of defense, Skin and mucus, has failed.
Next, your innate defense kicks in (Fever, inflammation, release of phagocytes)
With Mild covid / Asymptomatic covid carriers, these two defenses may be enough to stop the virus.

Adaptive Immune System
A specialized defense system in your body that fights specific invaders
it tracks down the virus, fights it with an army of antibodies
These defense systems are in your bones (bone marrow) and flow through your circulatory system (blood)
