"T cell studies documenting pre-existing reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 in 20-50% of people suggest that antibodies are not the full story."

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Public health responses to covid-19 around the world predicated on the assumption that the human population had no pre-existing immunity to SARS-CoV-2. But is that actually the case? Peter Doshi explores the emerging research on immunological responses
