Influenza a also is mutable - but not to the same degree - and that is why some year's vaccines are less effective - vaccine makers are targeting a immune profile up to two years in advance - and the virus mutates away from the targets.
Antibodies disappearing from patients previously infected - not well understood issue - and are people who previously had Wuhan virus infection at risk for new infection - the Wuhan virus does mutate - and there are several strains out there.
an issue not well understood - if a patient with previous infection may be susceptible to a new infection from a different strain. of virus .
definitely research territory. if the libDems will allow money from OBLM reparations to be used for medical research.

while it's not being widely discussed i've seen reports saying that of these 7 prior known "corona" type viruses, 4 of them became seasonal and 3 did not, they ran their course and did not reoccur.
so by that prior history there is a good possibility this is a "one and done". of course it may also become seasonal.
regardless there won't be a mass shutdown next year. it was an overreaction this time however there was no prior knowledge base for this new strain and considering that China intentionally let it spread worldwide for weeks at the least (probably more like 2 months) Trump took a hard stance on it. he had no other choice at that point.
now we know more about this bat soup virus. we know Andy Cuomo was stupid to force these exposed patients into nursing homes. the idiot exposed the most vulnerable group to the very virus he should have isolated them from.
we know Fauci was wrong at every turn and if Trump had listened to him it would have been worse. Trump didn't and of course the leftie press hailed flatulent Fauci .. until he was proven wrong then they made up excuses for him. this of course is assuming Fauci doesn't have an agenda behind his "false" statements. for now we'll just assume he's an idiot.
we also know now that standard practice for use of ventilators in typical respiratory cases don't apply to this virus. patients do need oxygen but not under pressure like other types of cases. high pressure isn't needed and in fact made it worse. you could just use oxygen masks and tubes for help breathing.
the world is not going to shutdown again next year or even this fall. we'll just shutdown China and let them suffer.
