Could the ghosts of your previous colds help protect you from COVID-19, even if you have never been infected by the new coronavirus spreading across the planet?

Scientists are investigating a poorly-understood immune mechanism in the body that they hope could help efforts to curb the pandemic.

At the moment, people who think they have had the virus might get a serological test to check for antibodies.

These proteins help fight off infection and may prevent them from getting the disease again in the future -- but there are signs that with COVID-19 they could fade away within weeks.

This leaves the other instrument in the body's toolkit -- T lymphocytes -- a type of white blood cell responsible for the second part of the immune response.

With little yet known about how they operate against COVID-19, scientists are racing to fill in the gaps in our knowledge.

One hypothesis is that these T cells might help give people a level of cross-immunity protection from COVID-19 because they "remember" previous infections by other viruses in the same family, four of which cause common colds.

"The immune system is complex," said Andreas Thiel, who co-authored a study that looked at the presence of T cells able to react to the new coronavirus, both among those with confirmed infections and healthy people.

The research, published last week in the journal Nature, found that at least a third of adults that had never had COVID-19 have these T cells.

"These most likely originate from previous infections with endemic coronaviruses," Thiel, a professor at Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Regenerative Therapies, told AFP.

But he cautioned that much more research was needed to find out whether their presence would necessarily mean immunity.

- Virus family -

The research followed a study by a team in Singapore published in Nature earlier in July that reached a similar conclusion.

Another study from the United States, published Tuesday in the journal Science, found a number of T cells that reacted both to the new virus, SARS-CoV-2, as well as to the coronaviruses that cause colds.

"This could help explain why some people show milder symptoms of disease while others get severely sick," said co-author Daniela Weiskopf, of La Jolla Institute for Immunology, in a statement.

This study builds on research, published in the journal Cell in May by the same team, which detected these SARS-CoV-2 reacting T cells in 40 to 60 percent of people who had never had COVID-19.

- Lasting immunity? -

The vaccines currently in development for the new coronavirus seek to trigger both types of immune response.

Previously attention, however, has largely focused on the immunity conferred by antibodies.

"But we must not think that nothing else exists," Yonathan Freund, professor of emergency medicine at the Paris Pitie-Salpetriere hospital, told AFP.

Studies have shown that the level of antibodies for patients who have had COVID-19 drops rapidly, perhaps within a few weeks.

"That could mean two things: One, which would be catastrophic, is that immunity to COVID does not last," said Freund, adding that he doubts this is the case.

The second possibility, he said, is that potential immunity exists but "cannot be detected" by the serology tests for antibodies.

That would mean our calculations on the percentage of the population who are potentially immune to the coronavirus, which are based on the detection of antibodies, could be underestimated across the world.

A recent study at Sweden's Karolinska University Hospital showed that many people with mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 demonstrated a T cell immune response to the virus, even if their antibody test was negative.

But Freund stressed that discussions around T cells were mostly just "hypotheses" for now.

And scientists are keen to emphasise that thorough, large-scale research is needed before there would be any implications for tackling the pandemic.

"Pet theories (are) fine in academic debates, but dangerous when advising for policy," Devi Sridhar, a professor of global public health at the University of Edinburgh, said on Twitter this week.

She added that if there was clear evidence of wider public immunity or that the virus was weakening she would be "delighted".

"That is what we are all hoping for. But have to plan & prepare according to current evidence & observational studies from around the world," she said.

Because you reason with flesh and blood.

Maximus69:
I don't understand what you mean!

Which yeye pain? Which Jehovah's servant, the Jehovah you people smuggled into the Bible to suppress the real name? Are the Muslims not better than you lot? They have held firmly to the original name of the God they worship. But you people can't even be bold enough to declare the name of your God without adulteration.

Janosky:
Jesus Christ is Jehovah's servant. Acts 3:13. Isaiah 42:10-12.
Matthew 10:22 Jesus said "All men will hate you because of me"

Jehovah's servants simply CONFESSED what Jesus himself CONFESSED :
Revelations 3:5,12. John 20:17 in heaven and earth, Jesus is the son of his Father and God.

This truth still dey give you sifia pains

You mean the building abi?

Maximus69:
Of course Satan knows how to quote the scriptures because he's a spirit being but when standing face to face with a believer Satan will bow before God's children because we have the holy spirit to help us beat Satan in a spiritual warfare! Matthew 4:1-11 compare to Isaiah 54:17

.

Jesus said the FRUIT will serve as EVIDENCE to confirm we are on the right track {Matthew 7:16-20} I've quoted verses showing the fulfilment of Jesus' promises evident in the midst of JWs, so it's you that needs to show the evidence that your church belongs to Christ (Messiah)

Aiders and abetters

Even the devil can quote the Bible to backup his claims.
Are you even sure it's the messiah you are referring to or someone else?

Maximus69:
I think i've gotten the answer to the question in brown!
Jesus said "my group will become an object of hatred everywhere they are!" Matthew 10:17; Luke 21:17; John 17:14

Jesus also told us why it must be like that "No student is greater than his Master, the way they treated me is the same way they will treat you, if they call me a demon what do you expect from them?" Matthew 10:22-25

I think that's the problem JWs are facing today!

You should ask yourself why, of all the various Christian sects/groups, it's JWs that are most disliked and dismissed. Why do you keep posting posts just to launder your image?

Janosky:
You have run out of gas to defend your Triune pagan DELUSION


Please continue to console yourself with false claims....

Be wise or face destruction indeed. Lol

here comes another terrorist. If u claim islam will make way, stop enforcing those that want to convert to christianity to stay back or being killed and see whether u guys will be up to 10 in nigeria within one yr. Thank God for some yoruba and kogi muslims in our area, they always attend monday and wednesday prayers. when u're not facing oppression from the witches, dats when u may be believing on islam. Be wise or face destruction!!

Be careful with gals. If they stop, you better stop. So many men are in trouble already because they didn't stop when they were asked to.
It's better to be free than to be in jail for a crime you didn't commit.

Guys what do girls really want, a girl came to my place last week and as we were about to begin the sexxxing she said i should stop which i did yet she goes around telling her friends she came to see me and i couldn't do anything.

Was i supposed to still go ahead when she said stop?

Whatever. It doesn't change the deceptive teachings you people propagate. It doesn't change the lies in your translation of the Bible. It doesn't change the fact that the founder of JW was a high ranking illuminati. It doesn't change the fact that JW is a place for devilish indoctrination, where people live in pretense. It doesn't change the fact that JW are...

He made a False claim.
JWs gathering is called an Assembly or Congregation, synonyms for Ekklesia, Church.

Kingdom Hall is a name for the building where JWs Congregate.

Don't mind them with their deceptive teachings.

QED!

Janosky:
Yahweh or Jehovah, anyone that rocks your boat, go with it.
Jeremiah or Jesus,or Joshua, nobody is complaining about the letter " J".

Katherine or Catherine,go with the one you prefer.

I am complaining about the letter J and so are many other people.
. Katherine and Catherine sound alike. But
Do Yahweh and Jehovah sound same?

You can't know the real name of the Almighty by just looking at the Bible when all the names have been tampered with. You have to refer to scholarly materials.
Besides, there is no letter J in Hebrew scriptures. Indeed, the letter J is less than 1000 years old so Jehovah couldn't be his name.
The Tetragrammaton (YHWH) which is unanimously accepted as the representation of the name has no J in it, so how can you have Jehovah as the name.? The closest name is Yahweh.

When I was about to marry my wife, I took her to my pastor for guidance and counseling. But to my surprise, my pastor told me in her present that the marriage is not going to work. Meaning we are not meant to be together as husband and wife. instantly my wife to be started crying like a baby in the church. I understand the meaning of that cry very well. if I dare leave her alone in that condition she'll do something regrettable. But as a curious man that I am. I asked the pastor some questions that he couldn't reply. I said sir, this thing you just said now that my marriage with this girl is not going to work Is it the Holy spirit that reveal it to you? or sir did u see something wrong about my life, family or her life or family that may impose a great danger in future to us? He was dumbfounded. he couldn't reply a word or even give me one reasonable reason why it will not work. so me and my babe left the church to a very quiet environment where we could chat heart to heart. we prayed together and commited the future of our marriage into God's hand. we got married in another church and today we are blessed with a boy and a girl. The marriage work? abi e nor work? God has the final say not man

Well,
If you have like four gals (pvssies) to choose from, and you settle for a particular one of these four, the real cost of the pvssy you have chosen is the other 3 you left. Meaning that that pvssy is worth three other pvssies. But if you have only one to choose from, that means that the pvssy you have has little or no value.
Oya clap for me.

tnerro1:
Pls explain again, I need to write it down

They are crawling out of their holes one by one. Pastorthiefs.

Are you going to share your husband with your mother? Is it what you want or what your mother wants? If you marry to please her, will she be there when kasala burst for ya head.

One chance things.

Tell am.

Should we tell this guy the truth?

Amaechi na baaad product in the market.

It depends on the pvssy.
Each pvssy has its own value.
Just As they say in economics, the real price of a pvssy is the opportunity to have another one which has been lost because of having a particular one at a particular time.

Your number one is half-truth. The name is Jehovah according to your translation of the Bible, nothing more.

chatinent:
We as Jehovah’s Witnesses adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. This article summarizes our basic beliefs.
.
1. God. We worship the one true and Almighty God, the Creator 'who has a name', and whose name is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:​ 11) He is the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.​—Exodus 3:6; 32:11; John 20:17.
.
2. Bible. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired message to humans. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:​16) We base our beliefs on all 66 of its books, which include both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament.” Professor Jason D. BeDuhn aptly described it when he wrote that Jehovah’s Witnesses built “their system of belief and practice from the raw material of the Bible without predetermining what was to be found there.” * While we accept the entire Bible, we are not fundamentalists. We recognize that parts of the Bible are written in figurative or symbolic language and are not to be understood literally.​ —Revelation 1:1.
.
3. Jesus. We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:​31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26) However, we have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.​—John 14:28.
.
4. The Kingdom of God. This is a real government in heaven, not a condition in the hearts of Christians. It will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. (Daniel 2:​44; Matthew 6:​9, 10) It will take these actions soon, for Bible prophecy indicates that we are living in “ the last days.”​—2 Timothy 3:​1-5; Matthew 24:​3-​14. Jesus is the King of God’s Kingdom in heaven. [color=maroon]He began ruling in 1914.[/color]​—Revelation 11:15.
.
5. Salvation. Deliverance from sin and death is possible through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 4:​12) To benefit from that sacrifice, people must not only exercise faith in Jesus but also change their course of life and get baptized. (Matthew 28:19, 20; John 3:​16; Acts 3:​19, 20) A person’s works prove that his faith is alive. (James 2:​24, 26) However, salvation cannot be earned​—it comes through “the undeserved kindness of God.”​—Galatians 2:​16, 21.
.
6. Heaven. Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the faithful angels reside in the spirit realm. * (Psalm 103:19-​21; Acts 7:​55) A relatively small number of people​—144,000​—will be resurrected to life in heaven to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom.​—Daniel 7:​27; 2 Timothy 2:​12; Revelation 5:​9, 10; 14:​1, 3.
.
7. Earth. God created the earth to be mankind’s eternal home. (Psalm 104:5; 115:16; Ecclesiastes 1:4) God will bless obedient people with perfect health and everlasting life in an earthly paradise. Of course, it was his original purpose while creating man.​—Psalm 37:11, 34.
.
8. Evil and suffering. These began when one of God’s angels rebelled. (John 8:​44) This angel, who after his rebellion was called “Satan” and “Devil,” persuaded the first human couple to join him, and the consequences have been disastrous for their descendants. ( Genesis 3:​1-6; Romans 5:​12) In order to settle the moral issues raised by Satan, God has 'allowed' evil and suffering, but He will not permit them to continue forever.
.
9. Death. People who die pass out of existence. (Psalm 146:4; Ecclesiastes 9:​5, 10) They do not suffer in a fiery hell of torment. God will bring billions back from death by means of a resurrection. (Acts 24:15) However, those who refuse to learn God’s ways after being raised to life will be destroyed forever with no hope of a resurrection.​— Revelation 20:14, 15.
.
10. Family. We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the only valid basis for divorce. (Matthew 19:​4-9) We are convinced that the wisdom found in the Bible helps families to succeed.​—Ephesians 5:22–​6:1.
.
11. Our worship. We do not venerate the cross or any other images. (Deuteronomy 4:​15-​19; 1 John 5:​21) Key aspects of our worship include the following: Praying to God.​—Philippians 4:6. Reading and studying the Bible.​—Psalm 1:​1-3. Meditating on what we learn from the Bible.​—Psalm 77:12. Meeting together to pray, study the Bible, sing, express our faith, and encourage fellow Witnesses and others.​— Colossians 3:​16; Hebrews 10:23-​25. Preaching the “good news of the Kingdom.”​—Matthew 24:14. Helping those in need.​—James 2:​14-​17. Constructing and maintaining Kingdom Halls and other facilities used to further our worldwide Bible educational work.​— Psalm 127:1. Sharing in disaster relief.​—Acts 11:27-​30.
.
12. Our organization. We are organized into congregations, each of which is overseen by a body of elders. However, the elders do not form a clergy class, and they are unsalaried. (Matthew 10:8; 23: We do not practice tithing, and no collections are ever taken at our meetings. (2 Corinthians 9:7) All our activities are supported by anonymous donations. The Governing Body, a small group of mature Christians who serve at our world headquarters, provides direction for Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.​— Matthew 24:45.
.

What about your discrimination?

chatinent:
13. Our unity. We are globally united in our beliefs. (1 Corinthians 1:​10) We also work hard to have no social, ethnic, racial, or class divisions. (Acts 10:34, 35; James 2:4) Our unity allows for personal choice, though. Each Witness makes decisions in harmony with his or her own Bible-trained conscience.​— Romans 14:​1-4; Hebrews 5:​14.
.
14. Our conduct. We strive to show unselfish love in all our actions. (John 13:34, 35) We avoid practices that displease God, including the misuse of blood by taking blood transfusions. (Acts 15:28, 29; Galatians 5:​19-​21) We are peaceful and do not participate in warfare. (Matthew 5:9; Isaiah 2:4) We respect the government where we live and obey its laws as long as these do not call on us to disobey God’s laws.​— Matthew 22:21; Acts 5:​29.
.
15. Our relationships with others. Jesus commanded: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” He also said that Christians “are no part of the world.” ( Matthew 22:39; John 17:16) So we try to “work what is good toward all,” yet we remain strictly neutral in political affairs and avoid affiliation with other religions. (Galatians 6:​10; 2 Corinthians 6:​14) However, we respect the choices that others make in such matters.​— Romans 14:12.
