    Hah. People who recovered from SARS (the 2003 one!) showed immune response (T cells) to SARS even after 17 years. (May or may not apply to SARS-CoV-2 but interesting). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z …pic.twitter.com/yW3G0gJnol

        Also we know antibodies persist 6+ years for MERS (another pesky novel coronavirus). Can’t assume this will directly correspond to SARS-CoV-2 (still early) but SARS and MERS are the two closest examples we have. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/5/20-4056_article …

        It definitely doesn’t. T cell “response” doesn’t equal T cell effective immunity. At all. If there was any lasting T cell immunity, we would not be seeing massive reinfections in Brazil & India.

        Not at all clear to me we're seeing massive reinfections in either place. We never had good serosurveys for either.

        All I know is the 1969 Hong King flu was brutal. I presume it provides no protection against this stuff.

        Last March, there was a lot of talk about immunity from coronaviruses only lasting a year - to your knowledge, was that based on any science, or was it just more talk?

        That was based on susceptibility to reinfection but not an indication of how long protection from severe disease would last.

        And outcomes from the Pacific Rim & Africa w/regard to COVID seem consistent with this
