I am old enough to have had all the standard childhood diseases (except whooping cough). Whether it is me having had them and building antibodies or someone younger who received the vaccine and building antibodies, a person is then immune. Measles, for example, does not mutate and become a different strain each year. Common Cold and Influenza are different strains, they mutate to something different each year. The previous flu shot generally does not provide protection for the new strain.
From what I understand, Covid-19 is not mutating. It is like the measles. Once you had it or got the vaccine, you are immune.

I heard it both ways. First that there is a second wave of infections in China and South Korea (under the assumption of a mutation) and then i heard that once youve had it youre immune. I hope the latter is true....I also think i might have already had it because I had a hell of a flu in december and i had major shortness of breath, which ive been told is NOT a flu symptom.
This virus has a lot of the experts confused. And in some cases, as they gain more knowledge about the virus, they come out with new information that sometimes contradicts something that may have said earlier. All we can do is to keep washing our hands, don’t touch our faces and do our part to not spread it. Let’s wait for the experts to figure it out. I say this because domino has some of the worst doomsday type posts that I’ve read regarding this virus. And I can’t believe I’m saying this, but even CNN comes across slightly more optimistic. Fortunately it seems that most of you see dominos posts for what they are. Get your information from trusted and accredited sources. Unfortunately, fear kicks in before logic

Degree in "Medical science"?
You are so full of it it's not even funny.
Just FYI: Person sitting next to me got it from Columbia University (it's Ivy League, google it if you don't know what it means.).
You just talked about a vaccination for AIDS. I'm really sorry, you have no clue what the hell you are talking about. Go fornicate a waterfowl or something.
