Really just looking at antibody levels over time and demonstrated that for most people the levels started to fade after a few months
I mean isn't this to be expected? Does anyone expect our immune system to have antibodies floating around for stuff we beat 20 years ago? Our immune system thwarts virus and bacteria all day, every day.
You can take an agar plate, swish it around in the room you are in right now, close it up, throw it in an incubator, come back two days later and it will be growing all kinds of stuff.
I read a paper earlier this year about how people who beat SARS v1, didn't have antibodies, but still had some form of immunity 15 years later. On my phone and don't feel like searching for the paper right now.
ETA: paper from 2017 > T-cell immunity of SARS-CoV: Implications for vaccine development against MERS-CoV

Sure, of course that’s right.
It’s really only noteworthy in the context of trying to predict Covid 19s behavior in relation to its fellow coronaviruses.
Obviously you can be reinfected with the 4 most common coronaviruses again and again. It may also be so with Covid 19.
But that’s what makes the 1889 flu pandemic speculation so fascinating.
Perhaps what we’re witnessing is Covid establishing itself in the population and several years from now it will just be a fifth coronavirus known to cause common cold. Who knows but curious to speculate
