Optional extra credit: Imagine you and your friends all attend a single event and are all exposed to a pathogen (e.g., respiratory viruses or bacteria via inhalation, or gastrointestinal viruses or bacteria via consumption of food).

Describe factors that contribute to the differential outcomes among your group. In other words, why were some individuals fine, but others became quite ill from the same pathogen?

Be specific: e.g., do not just generally state that some people have a stronger or weaker immune system, but rather, explain what it means using specific examples of functions and processes that contribute to differences.
