Apparently SARS did evoke a pretty strong response in a lot of people. The guess is that because it elicits so much stronger of a response than a common cold, that the body built up a lot of antibodies. In one study, they could find antibodies in SARS patients up to 10 years later. We can only hope this is the same. Although I have no idea if only really sick people got strong antibodies or whether it was general. Obviously makes a big difference.

Meanwhile dipshit Guiliani is on Fox News laughing about "How come we don't do contact tracing for heart disease and cancer?" For real. I don't want all the old people in Florida to die, because my mo is an old person in Florida, but for fuck's sake. Someone needs to save us from them.
