Generally if this virus is anything like other coronaviruses, it will adapt. And this flare up regularly even if immunity is present. That's how it made the interspecies jumps after all.
So at best it will be a perpetual game of cat and mouse, like it is with flu, but with higher stakes.
- goalieca 6y agoLet's assume this virus will be endemic. Why would we assume that the second infection would be any worse than the first? Our immune system is highly adaptive and generally does very well. In fact, we've now got good evidence that there is cross-protection from antibodies and t-cells from other coronaviruses in circulation.
