A couple of weeks ago, they reported a couple of studies that showed that asymptomatic people may not retain antibodies. And that they are at risk for reinfection. I think the data came from China, so take it for what you will.


Didn't they finally chalk this up to the initial positive test being a false positive rather than an asymptomatic infection?

No, this was a new study from South Korea. Really just looking at antibody levels over time and demonstrated that for most people the levels started to fade after a few months.

Those people who had mild or even no symptoms while being COVID positive saw their antibody levels fall more quickly.

1. Doesn’t mean that people would be reinfected, but certainly could, especially given what we know of other coronaviruses.

2. Says nothing of possible T cell mediated immunity.
