It was a mystery to me.  Everyone here on the morning show got sick with Covid, all of us except for Chris Allen.  Maybe Chris is just better looking than the rest of us:) A new study reveals that more attractive people have better immune systems than unattractive people.  This is according to the Proceedings of the Royal Society Journal.

Researchers  studied nearly 500 volunteers before coming to the conclusion that people with attractive faces tend to have better immunity in their blood cells.  They pontificate  that humans may be biologically programmed to seek healthy mates.

The lead researcher in the study says "People who go out to a bar looking to talk to someone attractive are often dismissed as being shallow and told, it is not all about looks.  They are really just following their instincts to find a high quality mate".
