Scientists create antibody that defeats coronavirus in lab

Yeah, let herd immunity kick in so it's harder for the virus to spread and then STRICTLY quarantine the old. As in much stricter than what they have now. I realize that's not great for grandma, but at some point, society has to make a reasonable tradeoff. If you're young, strong and healthy, your probability of dying from it is basically a rounding error.

We don’t even know if individuals can acquire immunity from infection, yet. (That’s a prerequisite to herd immunity.)

We have no reason whatsoever to think infection doesn't confer immunity. All other human-infecting coronaviruses do. And with no confirmed cases of reinfection yet, there is no evidence showing that this virus breaks the norm.

Stop spreading misinformation. There are studies in South Korea that reinfection does not occur.
