The question of immunity after coronavirus infection is unresolved.
Researchers have now come to interesting results in the largest study to date.
Coronavirus pandemic
: Are you
immune to the
SARS-CoV-2 pathogen
after being
infected with corona
?
American researchers are conducting the largest study to date on the subject of
Covid-19 immunity
.
Immune cells
against the
coronavirus
supposedly stay in the human body for a very long time.
Munich / San Diego - The
USA
is the country with the most
corona cases in the pandemic
.
Almost
12.25 million infections
had
been detected
as of Monday, November 23, according to surveys by
Johns Hopkins University
.
But: Now there is also hope from the United States, more precisely from
California.
It's about a study of
La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI)
in
San Diego
.
The
editorial network Germany (RND)
reports on this

Coronavirus: immune after infection?
US study comes to remarkable results
The scientists
examined
the immunity after infection with the
pathogen SARS-CoV-2
.
In exactly 185 patients who carried the virus and are now considered to have recovered.

The result: Most of those who had recovered still had
enough immune cells
eight months after being
infected with the
coronavirus to
fend off
a renewed infection with the pathogen and thus a possible disease from the
insidious lung disease
.
Protect yourself from coronavirus infection - with copper tape
Use the antiviral and antibacterial effects of copper in your own four walls.
Applied to door handles or window handles, copper tape also inactivates coronaviruses.

Immunity to the coronavirus: Corona immune cells supposedly in the human body for years
According to the
RND
, the researchers come to the conclusion that the
corona immune cells
remain in the body for a long period of time.
"The amount of immune memory will likely prevent the vast majority of people from having to hospital for a serious (Covid-19) illness for many years," said Shane Crotty
, a virologist at the California Institute and one of the
New York Times
,
according to the
New York Times
Study leaders.
In
the best case scenario,
immunity against the corona virus could
last for years, it said.
A glimmer of hope in really rough times.
