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

Is it possible we are looking for immunity in the wrong way when it comes to Covid19?
Guess this is the most important? ”Our analysis of immunological and epidemiological data on endemic human coronaviruses (HCoVs) shows that infection-blocking immunity wanes rapidly but that disease-reducing immunity is long-lived.”https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6530/741.full …
what do you think about the nyt herd immunity thing
I wouldn't call a virus with a 35% mortality rate "pesky," but this is interesting news nonetheless.
Careful, I've already seen idiots on the Internet shouting that vaccines are too weak and the only way to get immunity against new mutations is to get infected (that's the literal recipe for making new and more dangerous mutations FFS).
I've seen published studies that discuss the likelihood that a portion of the approx 40% of SARS-CoV-2 infections that are asymptomatic are people with some T-cell immunity acquired from exposure to other coronaviruses. Thoughts?
Isn't the cross reactivity to SARS-COV2 point you highlighted the bigger deal?
