They are starting to wonder why some people who are otherwise swimming 
in the virus do not catch the disease.  Either they lack one of the 
necessary enzymes/proteins/midichlorians required for the virus to 
replicate itself, or they have a super immune system that is no match 
for the virus, so genetics do indeed play a part.
