In one ongoing study, the Korean Center for Disease Control found that 100% of 25 randomly selected patients who were hospitalized with symptoms and who fully recovered, developed defensive antibodies against COVID-19.
Researchers were initially concerned that antibodies might not kill the virus, because roughly half of patients had both antibodies and a currentIn this March 27, 2020, file photo, a machine dispensing COVID-19 novel coronavirus antigen and antibody diagnostic membrane, on a production line making virus testing kits at the SD Biosensor bio-diagnostic company near Cheongju, South Korea.

In a second study of more than 10,700 COVID-19 patients, researchers examined 207 individuals who were re-diagnosed with COVID-19 after recovering from their infections. In 39 of those 207 re-diagnosed individuals, researchers did not find any virus replication in patient samples they analyzed.
So now you are reporting that a study where 100% formed antibodies, you used the word “could” to describe if they are protected. But man if it was a death you were reporting you’d be calling it fact and how bad the situation is. Hypocrites
Hi. I see you wrote 'South Korea' but did you know that Koreans don't really like it when you specify 'South' when it's not totally necessary to what you're saying? It's a painful and unwelcome reminder of our divided country. Please consider this in the future. 감사합니다!
Ok. So... My take with that info is fully clearing a second infection has the potential to mean immunity. Right? Anyone else? Or do you see it differently?
Seems like they discovered how herd immunity is developed by the human immune system.
Very good news here.

Look at that country leading the world out of this mess with science
'In 39 of those 207 re-diagnosed individuals, researchers did not find any virus replication in patient samples they analyzed' So what about the remaining 168, did they have virus replication? If so that is still very alarming.
