Beda Stadler (professor emeritus and former director of the Institute of Immunology at the University of Bern) asks why it was ever claimed that there is no pre-existing #coronavirus immunity in the population? See description @FatEmperor @MLevitt_NP2013
[Ferguson's model used to justify the closure of economies, schools etc. ignored prior immunity and therefore that up to 80% of the population was not susceptible]
--- Not even a single test was carried out in support of the claim.
--- Yet claim was made worldwide.

* The world then aimed to do a “high specificity test”.
--- This means it only recognizes SARS-CoV2, not any other coronaviruses.
--- But wouldn’t detect antibodies (ABs) that belonged to basic immunity (also known as cross-reactivity or cross-immunity) which protect us.

--- Thus critically missing a more complete immunologic picture.
Knut Wittkowski said during an interview [1] that in NYC, cross-immunity is ~25%, T-cell immunity ~25%, and SARS-CoV2 specific ABs ~25% (the third measured with the “high specificity test” that Beda refers to).

According to Wittkowski, Hubei, South Korea, much of Europe, the Northeast of the US, already have herd immunity because of the more complete immunologic picture. Other regions may need a month or two.
