COVID-19 Data Update for July 4 (2/3): Can the common cold protect against COVID-19?

1:37 Can T cells learn to recognize SARS-CoV-2 by learning what the common cold looks like?
2:55 Just like you can recognize cousin humans, your immune system can recognize cousin viruses
4:42 Four papers that show T cell recognition of SARS-CoV-2 in people who have never been infected with it
14:10 This is taking a long time because T cells are harder to work with than antibodies
16:29 Antibodies may fade but T cells don’t (as quickly)
17:39 The main point: There’s more to your immune system than antibodies and the T cell response is looking good so far. Hopefully, more to come.
