How does exercise strengthen the body but getting sick doesn’t?

I believe exercise damages much of your body in small doses which get stronger after rest. But doesn’t getting sick do the same thing? Shouldn’t you get stronger after getting sick? And if not why do extroverts live longer? Wouldn’t they be exposed to more illness and have decreased lifespan?

So your immune system does get stronger but it’s like specific to THAT sickness or such you had so if you come into contact with that EXACT one again it’s like oh yea I got this. But if a new or different sickness hits your body has to figure it out.

Also you will still get some symptoms as it’s bodies way of getting rid of stuff, the goal of immune is you not DYING from sickness
