35 Years of Research Into Coronavirus Infections Show Long-Term Immunity Is Unlikely

#7 ^6 - all research so far has not explained why the <= age 18 demographic is so resistant to COVID-19. Not quite the same "long-term immunity" as you mentioned, but that unexplained phenomenon is closely related.

#8 One virus that is definitely connected to bats has got into the news again:
OMAHA, Neb. — Nearly 200 people were possibly exposed to a rabid bat while staying overnight at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, the zoo said.

The zoo and Nebraska health officials recommended that roughly 186 campers who stayed overnight at the aquarium in recent weeks, as well as some staffers, get rabies shots.

A camper on July 4 woke up to a wild bat flying around her head. A zoo emergency medical technician didn’t find any bites or scratches on her.

#9 Oh. So the shot is superfluous.

Because it seems like, 3..4..5? jabs per year and get the covid anyways.

Perhaps active and fit, with tested immune system is the way to go.

#10 Bats distance through indispositions,
Which makes them as smart as physicians,
And thus we know why
Bats are able to fly:
They are also great mathematicians!
