[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2233276, member: 41816"] I found this interesting [URL]https://www.technologynetworks.com/immunology/news/why-dont-we-ever-develop-immunity-against-the-common-cold-294551[/URL] It is dated pre-COVID-19 but it explains why developing immunity to 'the common cold' (which includes the coronavirus) is a tricky thing. Depends on own immune system, exposure, mutation rate of virus and so on. We do get immunity for a while, but only until the virus mutates far enough that our immune system no longer recognise it, and we know the COVID-19 is already mutating. My best guess/[B][I]hope [/I][/B]is that individuals will get some level of immunity that will plug the gap between infection and a vaccine being available. However, the speed that cold viruses mutate will make it necessary to constantly re-design the vaccine in a rolling development I also found this snippet, which states that [I]From the last week of 2019 through March 1, 2020, more than 500 journal articles related to the virus were published electronically or in print, with numbers steadily increasing week-by-week. Topics included clinical manifestations, treatment regimens, viral structure and mechanisms, antiviral agents, and diagnostics. To date, more than 500 patents have been issued for vaccines and for therapeutic agents, such as antibodies, cytokines and nucleic acids, that could help prevent or treat coronavirus infections.
