Surviving COVID-19 protects most people against reinfection for at least six months, but elderly patients are more likely to be laid low by the virus a second time, researchers reported Thursday.
An assessment of reinfection rates in Denmark last year showed that just over half a percent of people who tested positive for COVID during the first wave from March to May did so again during the second wave, from September to December.
Among these, the researchers found that initial infection with COVID-19 was likely to bestow 80% protection from reinfection among under-65s, but that dropped to just 47% in older people.

I never understood these time-lines, and guessing games, of how long immunity lasts in recovered patients.
Why not have the simple blood-test for antibodies every 3 months?! (That’s what i’ve been doing.)
If you have an adequate amount of antibodies detected, you are still protected.
And if not, maybe you aren’t protected anymore.
It’s as simple as that.
I’m nearing 6 months after having covid.
I took my 3rd antibody test this week.
My antibody level is still around the level it was 6 months ago. (Just a little less.)
At this rate i should remain immune iy”H for at least another 12 – 15 months.
(Perhaps longer, thanks to hopefully healthy T-cells)
Furthermore, did it not occur to anybody to test the antibody level of re-infected people, at the time they were re-infected?
Did they, or did they not, still have antibodies at the time of re-infection?!
Sheesh!
Why do they have to complicate things more than they already are?!
Any dummy can make such “studies”. Everybody knows that over 65 they’re more easily infected or re-infected with any sickness. Coroney baloney does not change this fact.
