Question

In December 2020, Jean, a 30 year-old man, went to a concert in his town where more than 3 thousand people attended. Only 30% of the people in the concert were wearing mask, and there was not enough space to keep social distance. After 6 days, Jean started to develop fever and he lost the sense of smell and taste. Eight days after the party, he began to have difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with COVID-19. Let’s try to write the whole story about how the SARS-CoV2 invaded Jean’s body.

After a few days of the infection, Jean’s adaptive immune system is ready to attack the remaining viral particles that were not efficiently destroyed by the innate immunity army.
Is it possible for the immune system to eliminate the viruses without B cells? Why or why not?
