    Reuters: Studies Show Milder Cases Covid Have Longer Term Anti-bodies

    The following is a roundup of some of the latest scientific studies on the novel coronavirus and efforts to find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus.

    Immune system may never forget mild COVID-19

    Months after recovery from mild COVID-19, when antibody levels in the blood have declined, immune cells in bone marrow remain ready to pump out new antibodies against the coronavirus, researchers reported on Monday in Nature. Upon infection, short-lived immune cells are generated quickly to secrete an early wave of protective antibodies. As the immune cells die out, antibody levels decline. But a pool of these immune cells, called long-lived plasma cells, is held in reserve after infection. Most of them migrate to the bone marrow, explained coauthor Ali Ellebedy of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. His team obtained bone marrow samples from 19 patients seven months after the onset of mild COVID-19. Fifteen had long-lived plasma cells secreting antibodies against the coronavirus. Five of the 15 had second bone marrow biopsies 11 months after symptom onset and all still had long-lived plasma cells secreting antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Ellebedy, in a statement, noted that these cells are "just sitting in the bone marrow and secreting antibodies. They have been doing that ever since the infection resolved, and they will continue doing that indefinitely... These cells will live and produce antibodies for the rest of people's lives." It is not clear yet whether the same results would be seen in survivors of moderate to severe COVID-19, the authors said. (303 See Other)

    Scientists discover that the immune system actually works!

    doh!

    And as Rand Paul has been pushing, people that have antibodies are being overlooked while the massive shove for Shots-In-Arms continues.

    It looks like the vax rate is about 50/50 here in US, probably less, so I imagine there are still a good number of folks who haven't bought into all of the "science" they have been throwing at us. They would have us believe that the immune system simply isn't a defense against the China virus.

    Mine was a mild case. I keep meaning to go to Kroger and get tested for antibodies. I think they do it for 25 bucks.

    why?
    If you had Covid-19 you now have antibodies, Save the money.

    and they will continue doing that indefinitely...
    a prophetic word!
    we will see.
    Usually it can take the body 2-3 encounters with the antigen to train the immun system to react quickly.
    And even then it is different from antigen to antigen how long it works. No serious scientist is giving numbers about how long this reaction after Covid-19 takes place. But as far as seen now it seems to work well.
    For example you should renew your Tetanus vaccination about every 15 years, (or after certain injuries), if you had the measles vaccination as kid it will last probably lifelong
    There is also another point: getting older, like above 70 your immun system may work less causing a lack in the antibody production

    Well I never got tested for Covid, but pretty sure that's what it was since my wife had it. And I did lose my taste. But no formal verification I had it.

    I won't get tested for antibodies unless the State pushes hard enough to where I may need to have papers. But who knows, they may just drop it for the next shiny thing their monkey desires to grab onto.

    I have been around covid folk in our church the past few weeks and have no probs. Loving the Ivermectin results in the 4 cases we had.
