new study from scientists in the United States suggests that a significant majority of the population may already have some level of immunity to the coronavirus, a possible explanation for why so many individuals seem to experience few to no symptoms from the disease.
The study, written by researchers in California, New York and North Carolina and soon to be published in the journal Cell, discovered that certain types of cells in blood samples taken from donors in 2015-2018—well before COVID-19 arose—were reactive against the COVID-19 virus. In other words, those blood samples were at least partially immune from the coronavirus even though they had never been exposed to it.
"CD4+ T cell responses were detected in 40-60% of unexposed individuals. This may be reflective of some degree of crossreactive, preexisting immunity to SARS- CoV-2 in some, but not all, individuals," the researchers state in the paper.
Though the term "coronavirus" has become ubiquitous in recent weeks as a way to describe the virus causing the current pandemic, coronaviruses are actually a variegated strain of infectious agents that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to SARS.
The researchers in their paper suggest that the immune response seen in the uninfected blood samples could have been generated by the coronaviruses that cause the common cold.

Twelve months from now everything we thought we knew or understood about this virus outbreak will turn out to be wrong.
Cell immunity does not necessarily confer human immunity. - Confucius.
Really? It had the stench of global warming all over it from day one.
6 months from now. After the election.
Five seconds from now, I’ll still know what I knew five seconds before. This is all bullsh!t. The lock down was nothing but a power grab. Trump was sucker punched, and the faster he gets rid of every aspect of this lock down, the better, and Dr. Faux Chi along with it. Yeah, work on a vaccine and test HDQ more thoroughly, and Shaddup. Oh, and hang Cuomo up by his balls and beat him with sticks. But only after he’s been tarred and feathered and rode out of Albany on a rail. Repeat with any other blue governor you can lay hands on.
I have actually been wondering about this ever since reading about the Gangelt Germany cluster following a festival where extensive antibody testing revealed a 15% infection rate, the Diamond Princess with a 20% infection rate and our local Tyson plant cluster which also had a 20% infection rate following 100% testing.
Fauci said he wanted Brad Pitt to play him in the movie. I don’t think History will remember Fauci quite the way he thinks. When people understand Fauci knew about this virus in January and February what we know now, but guided the country into the second Great Depression, I don’t think he is going to be a hero.
In other words: Your guess is as good as mine.
Thanks for posting this.
Well effing DUH! This is mother nature, it is not one size fits all.
FBI will keep this under wraps till then, everything was classified “Top Secret”
not considering HOW it came about,
it was viewed and used and exploited by many, many people for various power grabs and furthering of agendas.
Hey that was a great post :)
I’ve never seen you so fired up.
And I agree with it all.
“Twelve years from now everything we, thought we knew or understood about this virus outbreak will turn out to be wrong.”
This is what happens, when the mediots, bureaucrats and democrats at all levels are in charge instead of front line doctors.
Then, throw into the mix big money from and for Gates, $oreA$$ and greedy drug company CEO’s.
This is a big opportunity to control a lot of Americans by those, who hate Trump and deploreables like us.
Look at the thug governor’s from the blue states. They have had no problem killing granny and grand pas.
Then, taking away our constitutional freedoms based on bad science.
Telling us that infants can be aborted and we can’t go to church.
It is okay to shop at HD, Walmart, Target and where ever if we wear masks and keep our group to 2 people and 6’ apart, but we can’t go to church.
Then, psycho Karens/Chads walking down the streets where we live and yelling at us for not wearing masks. Then, smugly
getting into their vehicles and driving with their masks on.
Then, sending email to the local fish wrap editor screaming about us not wearing masks while walking on our home streets.

HOAX from day one. Yes,I said it. The information is trickling out that this was all about a pandemic that was blown out of proportion by design by the left and China protected from day one. A good portion of death have been by political reaction and side effects.
I like the way you think.
Yes it did, still does and will have that damn Hockey Stick graph stench, replacing reality with wild A$$ B$!
Yeah. And people don’t play games like that when their sh!t is really on the line.
In WW II, there were isolationists. But right after Pearl Harbor was attacked, that put paid to isolationism and everyone wanted to get a crack at the Japs.
Here, with an emergency aid package on the line, Nasty and the Dems are trying to load on the pork and further their stupid agenda. With the economy collapsing and millions unemployed, a$$hole governors are feeding their lust for power by making the lock-down into a control-freak’s paradise, and murdering nursing home residents for the federal cash.
With predictions of doom and destruction and New York City in free fall (I’m sorry, but I just love that skyline), we have the Nero Philharmonic playing Turkey in the Straw. It was nothing but a con job. We were all taken in. Heat up the tar. tear open some pillows and down jackets. Get some rails. Somebody ought to pay for this, and it ain’t Trump. Later we can vote.
