| Subject: Can you catch the coronavirus twice? You'll probably be immune — for some time, at least Tue Mar 31, 2020 1:59 am | |
| "Because this is so new, it's hard to predict what's going to happen," said one virologist.
Those who recover from the coronavirus are probably not going to catch it again, at least in the short term, experts say. But it's unclear how long that immunity will last. "It is reasonable to predict we will have some immunity. To say you will have lifelong immunity? We just don’t know yet," said Frances Lund, professor and chair of the department of microbiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "But I think it’s a reasonable conclusion that you will have immunity for the rest of this season."
The key to immunity lies in the antibodies produced by people who have recovered from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
