Between the two of us, I’m guessing only one has an advanced degree in immunology. And, this virus isn’t changing millions of years of human evolution

Summary Researchers and public health authorities do not know how the immune system reacts to coronavirus or whether people who recover from COVID-19 develop long-term immunity.
Also developing immunity to a new virus is quite literally humans evolving
Admittedly I did word the statement incorrectly. But what HAS been found and documented are instances where someone was symptomatic, became asymptomatic, tested fine, and then tested positive again more than a week later.
There was also a study I found that tested 175 former Covid patients and they could not find the antibodies in 10 of those. Thankfully 10 is a relatively small number but there hasn’t been anything to show that you’re guaranteed to develop the antibodies.

'evolution' on that time scale isn't evolution, moron

Anyone on the planet can reacquire if they become immunosuppressed. No immune system, no immune response. This is an outlier, and has no place in a conversation about this virus being different.

The antibodies to ANYTHING ALWAYS disappear after the agent is cleared. So do the B cells that produced them. However, the immune system has memory, and can produce those same B cells the first sign of the agent reappearing. Your study was probably from the Huffington Post, they may understand less about immunity than you do.
