Highlights:

- While antibodies only last a few months, T-cells stick around for years, so some level of immunity could last 15+ years after infection/vaccine.

- People have been found to have COVID specific t-cells even if they have not had the virus, and scientists believe it is from other coronaviruses(like the common cold), explaining why so many people have mild or asymptomatic infections.

So perhaps at the very least we could turn this into the common cold?

Trump told you it would vanish like a miracle.
Like Jesus turned water into wine, Covid 19 will turn into a common cold.

No, morons. The common cold may give you partial immunity to COVID-19.

One of the strains of the common cold.

Part of the reason there is no vaccine is "the common cold" is actually about five different viruses that have similar symptoms.
