"pre-existing antibodies or T-cell responses against coronaviruses seem to protect against infection, not just the outcome of infection" What exactly does this mean and, if true, why were infection rates so high in NY ?
Immunity is age dependent. If we protect the low-risk young, through e.g. school closures, but not the high-risk elderly, sending infected individuals to nursing homes, then there will be many deaths. Very sad.
