Another thing that I wonder. Many years ago, there was a plague. It has been determined that some folks have a gene so that they either don't get the plague or if they do, they recover (depending upon if they have the gene twice (no plague) or once (recover).

I saw a show years ago that suggested that either that gene or another similar gene may exist for HIV (not get it or get it, but never develop into AIDS).

I don't see any reason why there couldn't be something similar for CV. That could potentially mean that some folks will never get it and some may get it but will recover with a relatively mild reaction.
