Come on, this is silly. We haven't learned nothing over the last year. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19 https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting...
- BeefWellington 5y agoThis is true, however those studies are for the initial SARS-COV-2 strain and doesn't make any mention of the variants. It's also worth noting that's a study of ~200 people. Given then times we're in it's an excellent sign and possible reason for cautious optimism and I'm sure a larger scale study is much harder to pull off in the midst of the pandemic. That said, I have yet to see a study on the rate of reinfection of any of the variants against people who had already been infected with the initial strain, and how well that is survived, etc.
