* Dr. Anthony Fauci says people who recover from the coronavirus will likely be immune should a second wave of infection spread in the early fall.
* He explained that because the virus has not mutated much, people who develop immunity will likely maintain it at least for the next few months.
* Preliminary studies about coronavirus immunity and antibodies have shown that most, but not all, recovered patients develop antibodies.
Dr. Anthony Fauci offered some insight into crucial questions about coronavirus immunity during an interview on Wednesday.
In a livestreamed conversation with Journal of the American Medical Association editor Howard Bauchner, Fauci said it's unlikely that people can get the coronavirus more than once.
"Generally we know with infections like this, that at least for a reasonable period of time, you're gonna have antibodies that are going to be protective," he said.
Fauci added that because the virus doesn't seem to be mutating much, people who recover will likely be immune should the US see a second wave of spread in the fall.
"If we get infected in February and March and recover, next September, October, that person who's infected - I believe - is going to be protected," he said.
A second spike in the US's caseload is a real threat, Dr. Deborah Birx warned on Wednesday. Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said Americans are at risk of a "very acute second wave" of coronavirus infections if they don't continue social distancing.
One reason the coronavirus has spread so quickly is because it's new, so none of our bodies have encountered it before. The immune system has to develop antibodies - proteins that fight a specific antigen - before we gain protection against a virus.

DR. FAUCI:
"If a person gets infected with coronavirus A, and then gets reinfected with a coronavirus, it may be coronavirus B," Fauci said. "But right now, we don't think that this is mutating to the point of being very different."
we’re being set up to again expect shutdowns either forever or frequently....
Just go away Dr. Doom.....and let the sick people have the malaria cocktail. I believe you personally are responsible for the death of many.
More scare hype. The “won’t be immune” hype.
Mr Fauci & Business Insider - two sources of misinformation.
Someone needs to put a muzzle on Fauci, am SO sick of him..used to think he was a decent dude but now I cant stand his face
Fauci will probably change his views by next week. He has little to no credibility.
Yup, typical media release...
If: That news appears good
Then: There will be a “...BUT, blah blah blah”
The profession of journalism is a loathsome one filled with folks who would not pass a third grade grad exam in 1900.
Here is a bureaucrat protecting his status and position at the expense of others.
But some scientists worry that not all patients develop antibodies.
And “some” means these three guys in a commune in SoCal.
Actually the vast majority of Americans likely would score poorly or fail that hypothetical circa 1900 3rd grade exam
The President had by that time shut down all incoming from China. Schumer and Nancy went nuts...calling Trump a racist and more.
Footnote; It was mentioned in the State of the Union which as we know....Nancy, with malice and aforesight, ripped up.
30+ years and billions$$$ and Fauci still has no vaccine for HIV. He didn’t close down any of the economy during the Swine Flu under Obama. Just shut up Fauci. You are deep state useless baggage.
Chicken pox is probably not a good example as folks get Shingles.
The key is mutation. That is why the annual flu is such a bitch to pin down. A corona virus doesn’t generally mutate that fast, from what I read—but a slight mutation would put people at risk.
Also this virus has a cleaving mechanism that is not normal. I’ve read where that might make a vaccine more difficult to deal with.
If antibodies are not developed, then why are they having success with this therapy using plasma from recovered patients?
Inquiring minds want to know.
“I believe you (Fauci) personally are responsible for the death of many”.
I dare say that Dr. Judy Mikovits would agree. I certainly do after reading the details in her book of the vaccine retrovirus contamination that she exposed and Fauci threatened her with arrest over.
He speaks out of both sides of his mouth. Why anyone would listen to him is beyond me.
Shove it up your azz, Dr. Doom, as you now have ZERO credibility, your nothing but a leftist, communist shill.
Go kiss the PIAPS.
Here is a bureaucrat protecting his status and position at the expense of others.
