"Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem" - Immunity a Million Times Stronger than Americans

Immunity a Million Times Stronger than Americans

Judaism tells that an act to be made without expectation of receiving gratitude from others has high value.

Therefore it is more recommended to visit a graveyard than a hospital room.

Interestingly, Christ Jesus never got sick.  Other founders of various religions in the past also did not succumb to illness while they lived hard lives.  Many Christian missionaries also worked strict environments in remote lands but most of them were not affected by a disease.  Disciples sent by Christ Jesus to remote villages had only little belongings but they seem not to have fallen into poor health.

Sickly saints must not exist, although the Buddha got ill after 80 years old to die, but he had been healthy till the fatal illness. 

Strong religious conviction seems to work on their bodies in a specific way.  Such religious conviction should enhance immunity.  They also seem to have been able to keep their physical conditions well, while having a small appetite.  Such religious conviction should make their bodies function efficiently with small energy.  Or such religious conviction should control their autonomous systems in their bodies in an appropriate manner against fatigue, disease, disease germs, hard environments, etc.

On the other hand, poor people without enough nutrition or rich people with obesity or nutritional excess seem to easily fall into disease.

Poor and rich men without religious conviction and religious sense of mission are vulnerable to diseases.  But religious people are strong against infection.  Even in this corona pandemic, the Vatican has recoded only 27 cases and no deaths as of November 17, although its infection rate, namely its number of infected persons per million population, is high, 33,666 (this rate is 34,788 for the U.S. with 11,540,461 cases).  In this context, although Vatican people have been attacked by corona-viruses at the same rate or level as that in the U.S., it seems that they show immunity almost a million times stronger than Americans. 

Perhaps to read the Bible with belief or a religious sense of tension should be the key to suppressing viruses. 

Vatican people must be visiting hospital rooms of their families, friends, etc. as often as graveyards, which however seems not to cause deadly infection in them.

John 11 King James Version

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
