IMMUNITY
EVERY recovered COVID-19 patient develops ‘neutralizing’ antibodies to the virus - but they may not be enough to block reinfection, small study suggests
Researchers looked at 149 recovered coronavirus who donated plasma, which is supposed to contain virus-fighting antibodies
About 79% had low levels of antibodies in their blood but 1% of ‘elite donors’ had very high levels
The team concluded that every patient’s immune system is capable of producing the types of antibodies that neutralize the virus, just not enough of them

Dr. Roger Sehuelt:
Coronavirus Pandemic Update 75: COVID-19 Lung Autopsies - New Data
A new article from the New England Journal of Medicine details observations of endothelial damage and thrombosis in lung autopsies of patients who had COVID-19. This report supports the hypothesis that Dr. Seheult has illustrated over the past few weeks.
Dr. Seheult also discusses the re-opening of the largest county in California and reviews a recent article published in Nature about how T-cells found in COVID-19 patients is a favorable sign for long-term immunity. (This video was recorded on May 25, 2020)
