People infected with SARS-NP in 2003 still, after 17 years, possessed T lymphocyes which were strongly active against SARS-NP as well as the current SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19). Also among people with no history of either SARS-NP or SARS-COV-2, it was frequently observed that subjects Drcrinumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234631514893894290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608697421187043479.post-88292763072848914802020-07-14T15:58:02.628-05:002020-07-14T15:58:02.628-05:00Live your life like you always have, flu or no flu...Live your life like you always have, flu or no flu.

These are cells which are important for long term immunity. Regarding corona-viruses, there are indications of cross-reactivity regarding those associated with the common cold & SAR-COV-2.
