Your knowlege of immunology is quite limited. When one is infected with a virus and recovers, it is generally because the person's immune system 'learns' to make antibodies against it in sufficient quantities to kill off the virus in their own body.

Then why do people need a flu shot every year, even if they've had the
flu already?

It's a different strain of the flu virus every year.

Yes and Covid-19 might do that too.

Indeed. Do tell us more. I know that the immune system has a bunch
of different type cells. Can you discuss several and give some
detail in how they function, what cytokines they produce, etc?

Medical Definition:
What is the medical definition of the word asymptomatic?
 
Definition of Asymptomatic. The term asymptomatic means literally the
absence of symptoms. It describes a condition that is present, but in
which a person does not show any outward signs or symptoms of the
disease.

I have no objection. I can imagine that if you live on a rock, you
have no environment to worry about. It's just a rock.

I love disposable aluminum pans - I use it for giving cakes away to friends. My daughter was baking for a friend. Yoose wouldn't know anything about stuff like that. Disposable aluminum pans also perform just spiffy when baking - you wouldn't know anything about that either.

Oh, ok. It's a big country, of course. Corn bread sounds interesting
to try.

What it boils down to is that I have never liked the damn things. Dad
used to grow them (scarlet runner) and my Sister raved about them. I
grew the typical N.American types when I was married but after one
taste, I let my then wife have 'em all.

They're just barely steamed, not enough to make them soft.

That's how I feel about Brussel sprouts.

Julie no more knows what a standard dinner in the USA is than I do. But
cornbread is good and it goes with LOTS of dishes. Cornmeal is not
available down under?

I can get corn flour here. I guess that's the same or close enough? I
looked at a Thermomix recipe and it also mentioned creamed corn, which
I can get here canned. So I'll try corn bread soon.

Corn flour is likely what we call corn starch. A fine powder,
almost like talcum powder. Used as a thickener in gravies and sauces.
 
You can't make cornbread with it. Don't waste your time and money.

Corn flour is not the same as cornmeal and I don't what the results would
be if you made cornbread out of it. I know some folks will put either
cream-style or whole kernel corn in their cornbread, but I'm not a fan at all.
 
If it didn't cost the price of a new car to ship it, I'd send you a 2 lb.
bag of cornmeal.

Yes, that would be expensive. I guess corn flour is finer than corn
meal or it's not made of the whole corn kernel.

When did I ever say I won't eat brown rice? I don't give a shit about
gluten free. I eat corn and flour tortillas and have no intention of
buying brown rice tortillas. Nor do I care to make pizza out of tortillas.
