It's not magic, it really is a thing with mutations in a handful of other viruses: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhanceme...
It was an early fear that I think we're past by now.
It's also important to compare cities and countries of comparable magnitude, size can make a big difference.
Americas have followed the rules, in almost all regions. People all over the US stopped being social days or weeks before the lockdowns even started.
What are you basing this on?
Many stopped immediately, but many have no stopped. There are even COVID parties, and open rallies with 500,000 attendies: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/09/08/sturgis-mo...
Antibodies are tied into what helped you get over your initial infection, if they don't do anything how did you clear initial infection? Sure - we don't have the studies yet - but this claim that there is no immunity is totally bogus - the reality - we don't yet have a study for THIS virus to show the full cycle of immunity - that doesn't mean Covid is a magic virus.
Secondly, this title "short lived immunity" is ridiculous. The issue is immune response, ie, when re-infected can your body clear disease efficiently. Isn't that how most immune responses work, you don't even really trigger them pre-infection. But then you get an exposure, body response kicks in (often better on repeat) etc.
I'm tired of these "masks don't help", "antibodies mean nothing", "reinfections are common" type articles.
