[quote=Anonymous]Interesting article summarizing information about "effective herd immunity" and t-cell immunity. After reading about the role of t-cell immunity and cross-reactivity with other coronaviruses, like SARS, I've wondered if some of the divergence in impact we've seen in populations worldwide has to do with historical exposure to these various other coronaviruses. I heard this theory discussed early on, but this is the first discussion I've seen in the press for a while. I think we're going to find out that the difference in the pandemic in the Far East is going to be partially due to masking and governmental interventions that are the legacy of SARS, but also the the fact that their population was previously exposed to SARS and other similar coronaviruses and has more natural t-cell immunity. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/08/reasons-for-covid-19-optimism-on-t-cells-and-herd-immunity.html[/quote]
