The Macro State of the Mind and the Micro State of Natural Killer Cells
The white blood cells are under control of autonomous nerves. The white blood cells are directly concerned with immunity against viruses. And autonomous nerves are influenced by various factors such as weather conditions, stress and pressure on the man, the mind set of the man, his lifestyle, how he feels and behaves, etc.
In other words, immunity against viruses in our bodies is influenced by our minds.
The basic form of the white cells is macrophages, a type of white blood cell of the immune system that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, cancer cells, etc. From macrophages, granulocytes and lymphocyte cells are generated, and the former includes T cells and B cells. In the process of evolution from macrophages to lymphocyte cells, natural killer (NK) cells are generated, which provide rapid responses to virus-infected cells, acting at around 3 days after infection, and respond to tumor formation.
To activate NK cells, perforins (a pore forming cytolytic protein) must be oozed out, but this oozing is under control of parasympathetic nerves. And parasympathetic nerves, one type of autonomous nerves, cannot be dominant in the state where one feels pressure or stress. However, when one is relaxed, parasympathetic nerves work well; perforins are oozed well; and NK cells are activated so that they kill virus-infected cells.
Therefore, the linkage between the mind and the body is provided by autonomous nerves consisting of sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves. And immunity against viruses are controlled by parasympathetic nerves and white blood cell elements such as NK cells, T cells, B cells. etc.
Put simply, the state of the mind has influence on autonomous nerves and thus the state of the body through connection between the nerves and cells. It has been proved that laughing lowers the blood glucose level and blood pressure. And, how you feel and think must influence the immunity level.
The macro state of laughing, relaxing, or other expressions of feeling of the man has an influence on the micro status of cells, such as NK cells, building the immune system. However, it is not quantitatively clear how much laughing, relaxing, etc. is necessary for enhancing immunity against viruses. It can be only said that the mind state has an influence on the body and health in general terms.
But one thing sure is that when one is reading the Bible and thinking about miracles of Christ Jesus, he is relaxed and his mind is purified, so that this state must have an influence on conditions of cells useful for immunity. Accordingly, it is expected that his immunity against viruses must be enhanced.
That is why Christ Jesus said to His disciples, when He sent them out to society for preaching, that if you drank poison, you would not be harmed. Christ Jesus must have set and regulated mind sets of His disciples into the appropriate state so that immunity of their bodies were reinforced against poisons and viruses.
So, it is interesting to see how many Vatican people or what percentage of Vatican people are suffering from corona-viruses. Or it is the time for the Pope to prove that he is the genuine and real successor of Christ Jesus and thus he has power to save virus-infected people in the world. Or any priests in Europe and the U.S. should prove the same.
Finally, all I can say is to read the Bible, purify your minds, adjust autonomous nerves, and thus activate NK cells, and you would not be infected by corona-viruses. And even if your were infected, you cannot be desperately ill; or even if you became desperately ill, you would not be killed. And even if you were killed, you would be allowed to enter Heaven.

Luke 8 King James Version
8 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
