Support for this scenario exists in previous research that found antibodies, the proteins that fight the initial infection, begin to decrease after 6-8 months. However, powerful and protective memory T-cells remain ready to fight off COVID-19 should reinfection take place. We know that individuals who recovered from SARS have detectable T-cells 17 years after the infection. B-cells, which manufacture the antibodies, were actually still increasing over the eight-month study. These long-term immune-system components reduce the severity of the illness the second time an individual is exposed:

More often, people become infected a second time with a particular pathogen, and the immune system recognizes the invader and quickly extinguishes the infection. The coronavirus in particular is slow to do harm, giving the immune system plenty of time to kick into gear.

“It may be terminated fast enough that not only are you not experiencing any symptoms but you are not infectious,” Dr.[Alesandra] Sette said.

The idea that COVID-19 will eventually act like routine HCoVs is also supported by research on T-cell reactivity. Six studies demonstrated that samples from people who had no known exposure to COVID-19 nevertheless had reactive T-cell responses to the virus in between 20-50% of participants.

The studies were small and cannot predict how many in the population may have a pre-existing immune response based on exposure to related HCoVs. However, it is a possible explanation for the wide range of symptoms seen even in healthy individuals and those who are asymptomatic.

Yes. It almost is now.

This is how common colds came to be. Many are coronaviruses, though not this family.

Sorry but that scenario presupposes events that have yet to happen.For such extensive immunity to occur, the susceptible worldwide population would have to become infected to some extent with COVID 19, and survive. Yet thus far less than 5% of the world’s population has had such encounters with this virus. Absent massive vaccinations, this virus has to circle the globe for 3-5 years as did the “Spanish Flu”, infect, sicken and kill far more before the population immunity the authors describe occurs.Massive, effective vaccinations are the only way suffering, deaths, social, political and economic disruptions will be avoided. Sadly no genetic clinical test has been designed to identify just who in fact are susceptible to this virus.

Coronaviruses are one of the two major viruses causing the common cold. This scamdemic has been perpetrated on a variant cold//flu virus with 98% recovery rate as being the Black Death.

This is because the milder strains do not kill their host. This is true for all viruses, and has been since we started studying them.

COVID-19 is a common cold virus.

In its current form, it is a severe common cold that often causes fatal pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in elderly people and in people with preexisting health issues.

Well, my husband and I had covid (not officially diagnosed, but had all the exact symptoms) back in early March 2020. I was sick longer than he, about 6 weeks, with the first 2 weeks being the worst. Then for months I would have “days” where I was unwell.

10 months later - we both became ill again. This time he did get a positive test, I didn’t bother (hate the idea of being an official statistic) and we both had a milder, yet still fairly rough, bout of covid. He had cough/lung issues, where I tended more to long fever and body pain. We both slept/are sleeping A LOT. He got his positive result on 1/4. He had been exposed on 12/27. He had symptoms on 1/2, mine began on 1/3.

So, we were “immune” for about 10 months, caught it again from direct exposure to an active case, spent 2 weeks feeling very low - but not as bad as the first go round. We are still recovering, having low energy, generally feeling sort of crappy, but main symptoms have eased. Dr. won’t prescribe ANY meds for husband - not for his horrible cough, nor the pneumonia caused by covid. I wonder why they refuse any and all meds?

Anyone that has studied biology, specifically micro, knew this already.

We must keep in mind that by failing to challenge our immune systems for a year or so will likely leave us with weakened systems and thus susceptible to infections that we normally fought off easily.

The cure is far worse than the disease - possibly by design.

Praise be to Saint Sniffer of Delaware. Just like that Kung Flu is Kung Cold. We are saved. But still better lock down.

The “Spanish Flu” was not caused by a virus. It was a bacterial pneumonia caused by the injections given to the soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas.

The disease was injected into them.

This is the benchmark disease that all the Fauci’s and Gates’ worked so hard to replicate, because of the number of deaths it produced:

Researchers Predict COVID-19 Will Eventually Be ‘No More Virulent Than the Common Cold’

I’ve bee saying for the last year that this, “we’re all going to die” virus was nothing more then a political ploy and as soon as they democrooks got their way that it would simply die away.

So looky here.

One year ago today:

After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown.

After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown. Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.
