We urge for the attention to the other side of the problem in COVID-19 research and propose investigations on the cases such as why some persons were not infected in an atmosphere of high coronavirus infectivity as others did, why in a 19 hour journey of a train to Tibet the coronavirus was not able to spread and infect any people during its period of peak viral shedding and transmissibility and in such a narrow and closed space. Based on the facts of two examples, we suggest that the research from the other side of COVID-19 may not only help to uncover the different aspects of COVID-19 mystery, but also provide important information and valuable methods to stop or slow the tempestuous worldwide pandemic of COVID-19.
