It's likely CoV-2, like other coronaviruses, don't generate long lasting antibodies (6~12 months) and it's also unlikely we'll see a vaccine before this burns out. A lot of people don't generate anitbodies because it's not even getting to their adaptive immune system. It's likely getting stopped at their inane immune system. These lockdowns have likely been terribly ineffective[0], but we can't tell because PCR tests have been mixed with antibody tests, and now reports like this show that antibodies aren't even a good indication since many people don't develop them (something Dr. Karol Sikora said weeks ago, but everyone dismissed him and demonized him for misrepresenting his Imperial College credentials ... and not his connection to lockerbie??) This is just a shitshow. The overall fatality rates are going totally down. But people still want to spread fear so they talk about mythical "permanent damage" and focus on the tiny tiny percentage for 20~30 year olds that get crazy bad symptoms and not the fact that >90% of deaths have been people over 50. We need to protect the elderly, but we also need to stop locking people up in the general population so this can burn out faster. Even if we don't get 'herd immunity' via antibodies, it still looks like this doesn't affect the vast majority of people with anything more than a cold/flu. Let's let people get back to work, isolate them when they get sick and deal with all the secondary effects (increased child abuse, increased domestic violence, increased suicides/depression) that we've totally neglected for the past five months.
