This is an interesting thought. When you believe you are in a "fight", you feel stressed. Brain dumps out cortisol (the stress hormone) into the bloodstream, causing inflammation and a weakening of the immune system.
This is why "staying positive" has literal, physical benefits for recovering from any illness. When you're positive, enjoying every moment as you said, you are not stressed. Your body can expend its resources more effectively on fighting off w/e ails you.
I believe a lot of people who "died from covid" actually just had the flu. But they were told they have the world-killing virus, forced into quarantine, unable to see their families when hospitalized. Unable to do anything they enjoy, just lay in a hospital bed for days and days and days, feeling like shit. The symptoms worsen, it looks like they're taking a turn for the worst. Time for the ventillator. Now, the patient is absolutely certain "I am going to die, and I cannot see my family." They may sort of... give up. Then they die. All because of "covid", according to the doctors (whom are the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA, probably the 1st now).
