A new study suggests that a small portion of the population carries antibodies that respond to COVID-19.
The study shows antibodies that were created long before the pandemic emerged last late year.
The research indicates that some people may have a degree of preexisting immunity to the coronavirus.
This would be lifted from previous bouts with the common cold caused by related viruses.
But though it’s possible these findings could help explain some trends in the pandemic.
However, it’s still unclear just how protective this borrowed immunity could really be says Gizmodo.
