No evidence that having had the virus makes you immune to a second infection

User Posted Link

There are usually antibodies post-infection but sometimes not many and no evidence that you are less likely to catch it again than someone who's never had it.

Which isn't great, a) generally and b) in the context of the vaccine hunt (which I really wish wasn't being hyped up as much as it is - no guarantee they'll find one, or if they do that it will be good for next year's strain: therapeutic drugs are at least as important and the hunt for those also continues, but timescales won't be short).
