People who have already fallen ill with COVID-19 are substantially less likely to contract the virus again for at leapt ten months, a new study suggests. They used antibody testing to determine who was previously infected with the virus, and compared those who were previously sick to those who never had the virus. Results showed residents who previously had Covid were 85 percent less likely to test positive for Covid once again than their peers, and staff were 60 percent less likely. Virus variants also throw another wrench into the fray, as researchers still do not know if antibodies from some variants of the virus will protect and individual from other variants of the virus. According to official data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 60 percent of U.S. adults have gotten at least one shot of a Covid-19 vaccine.
