According to a new study, adults have stable memory responses of common cold coronaviruses (CCCs)-fighting antibodies and T cells, presumably derived from these multiple exposures to CCCs in childhood.

The original SARS-CoV-2 viral strain that emerged in early 2020 was able to latch on to sugars known as sialic acids, found on the surface of human cells, an ability that later strains did not retain.

How satirical is it that as soon as COVID-19 fades to an endemic level, outbreaks of two rare viruses make themselves known—one related to a virus the United States wiped out in 1972 thanks to the success of vaccines.
