If they are panicking, how about us? The stories from r/nursing are frightening. Lots of people are going to quit nursing in the coming months over working conditions and burnout, and since immunity against coronavirus is not persistent, there's going to be a re-run next winter, but with less healthcare personnel.
Same with teaching. Working conditions are shit, salary is poor, and spending time in a classroom with current incidences is an invitation to catch the plague. Many won't be back, come next August. Some will be underground.

Sure you can find isolated cases where symptoms were more severe the second time around but those are very rare. I think some people get confused because they see lower antibody levels and assume that means loss of immunity, but that's not how the immune system works at all. https://youtu.be/GklHGYY8vN8 https://youtu.be/GklHGYY8vN8 And you can't seriously expect us to act based on random Reddit posts. We all know that site is heavily manipulated by a small group of moderators and it isn't a reliable source for anything more important than funny memes.
