But there are several other factors that influence your susceptibility to COVID-19 and other contagious diseases—and chances are, you’ve heard very little about them from the mainstream news or government entities. On this episode of The Model Health Show, we’re diving into five major risk factors for COVID-19 that you’re not hearing about.
