Donald Trump has nothing to do with the study of infectious disease or virology. Neither does extreme emotion. Both are irrelevant to this topic. Logic will tell us the human race has lived through many pandemics and will have many more to come. It is the natural world. We develop immunity, it adapts, we have to develop immunity again. And so on and so forth to the end of time. Tomorrow has never once been guaranteed and never will be no matter how much some would like to believe it. Humans are the greatest destructive force on this planet, whose to say what outcome is for the best?

"Several studies have shown that people infected with Covid-19 tend to have T cells that can target the virus, regardless of whether they have experienced symptoms. So far, so normal. But scientists have also recently discovered that some people can test negative for antibodies against Covid-19 and positive for T cells that can identify the virus. This has led to suspicions that some level of immunity against the disease might be twice as common as was previously thought.

Most bizarrely of all, when researchers tested blood samples taken years before the pandemic started, they found T cells which were specifically tailored to detect proteins on the surface of Covid-19. This suggests that some people already had a pre-existing degree of resistance against the virus before it ever infected a human. And it appears to be surprisingly prevalent: 40-60% of unexposed individuals had these cells." - https://www.bbc.com/future/article/2...-from-covid-19
