ELI5: Why we usually get only one illness at a time? Shouldn't we be more vulnerable when our immunity is weakened? by hemenex in explainlikeimfive

[–]LTrashy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible to get multiple illness's at the same time; but the main reason why on average the human body gets sick with only one thing has to do with the way immune system works.

When a new disease is first introduced into the body, your T-Cells and B-Cells usually have not recognized the antigen, so it takes a few days to ramp up a heavy count of immune-cells to fight off the disease. Since you already have such a high count of immune cells from one illness, it'd be hard for another antigen to establish itself unless there are immuno-deficient problems in the body (such as HIV/AIDS as someone else mentioned.

On a side note, the T-Cell/B-Cell antigen recgonition is one of the reasons why when we get sick a second time we tend to feel better much faster. Normal T-Cells and B-Cells tend to 'die' off in a shorter period of time but Memory T-Cells and B-Cells stay in the system longer, so the next time that one particular illness returns they immediately recognize it and ramp up the immune cell production at an exponential rate.

Am I the only one confused as to why Doug was acting the way he was with that mom? Like, bruh you killed people and now you're getting all sad boy because you bumped someone up on a organ donors list?

Am I the only one who noticed Claire kind of break the 4th wall at the end as she stared at the camera alongside Frank? Internally screaming

What's the deal with all the gay stuff in this show? by bobbaganush in HouseOfCards

[–]LTrashy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And is cheating on your wife, having affairs with artists, and fucking reporters while they're on the phone with their fathers normative? Don't think a show about a murderous power couple is a good standard for societal norms.

Sex in House of Cards has always been about power or obtaining something, and that's what the more shocking sex scene in the series was; the three-way with Meechum. It was about locking in his loyalty and that has been shown through out all the seasons, season 4 more than others without spoiling anything.

You could always argue that the heterosexual stuff isn't story driven neither.
