The studies suggest that not only do people have long term defences, but that many people's immune systems already had defences in place capable of recognising this virus. They're even able to distinguish between people whose immune system had pre-existing defences and those that only developed them after being exposed to SARS-CoV-2.
Apparently there was a recent study on survivors of the original SARS-CoV-1 (SARS). Not a single one has contracted SARS-CoV-2, and for some it’s almost 20 years later.
They tried a scientific approach to risk in terms of masks for general usage for the population from the outset. This didn't fly because how joe-public reasons with risk demanding certainty. Nothing is absolute in terms of protection as the requirements to ensure an absolute protection outcome far exceed what the public wish to endure. There is a reason why medical workers undergo vast training on infection control. The law mandate has nothing to do with anything but an attempt at reducing the chance of infection which is why it is described as one of the tools by our illustrious president.
Once again, the data suggests a diminishing response. We have no data supporting long term immunity as yet.
Right, discussion closed then..
That was Tuesday. Today, GP also a hotspot now so "Testing Coals from Newcastle?

There are plenty of studies looking at pre-existing immunological responses to COVID-19 and are quite fascinating. The immune system is the sum of its experience after all.
We can only look at what is currently known unless you believe that long term is less than a year.
No it is all about feelings.
How are they going to stop that?

The masks did meet the specs. Therefore not suitable for use by medical people, who are potentially exposed to high viral loads.

Ha ha ha!
And here people are thinking their little cloth **** will help.
The conventional immunity wisdom is sure taking a knock these days!
Read the next post! The immunity system, just like everything else needs to be exercised regularly, to keep it sharp and ready for action!
Yes, we cannot know the effectiveness of a synthetic vaccine as it hasn't been tested for long, but I think we can fairly safely extrapolate on our knowledge of our own immune system (ie natural immunity)
This stupid little tirade of his has virtually destroyed my opinion of him in one stupid speech. I won't even give it the respect of a prayer. It is just the ramblings of an idiot.Enter the Chief Justice his very self.

So that would make a vaccine pointless, unless you keep going for boosters like flu vaccines.
There are innate and adaptive immune system responses however for it to be "exercised" you'd require constant exposure over time which is not necessarily the case with Covid 19 and furthermore is not supported by medical workers who are being reinfected despite this constant exposure. However, it still does not negate the fact that, although studies show T-cell memory remaining in some patients, it's not consistent with all and we have only been able to measure it in the short-term.
I would argue against "fairly safely extrapolate" otherwise we might as well extrapolate that because all vaccines are arguably safe what's the worst that could happen? It's also not supported by even the manufacturers who state that the likelihood is that multiple booster shots will be required. We simply don't know as yet.
Even the manufacturers of said vaccines have alluded to this however the mechanism for the various vaccines are different. The efficacy and delivery (mRNA vs Recombinant Adenovirus) will be determined in time.
