A lot fewer than you think.

"Immunity" appears to last a maximum of 3 months.

Do you have a source for this? I'm intrigued

There are a few sources that say antibodies last up to 6 months and/or give no protection against Covid but the T cell response may be the answer to immunity.

Articles like this from Imperial and this in the New Scientist.

Longitudinal evaluation and decline of antibody responses in SARS-CoV-2 infection | medRxiv

In summary, the antibodies appear affective for 95% of people at 8 days, 60% at 2 weeks, but that figure is around 17% at 12 weeks.

IIRC from my O Level biology all immunity works this way. You body does not produce stuff it does not need. More scaremongering from the Media/NHSNCS

And if you don't like the UK study, here's one from China...

Nigel, IIRC, were you a UKIP member of similar?

[WTFH]

Wonder what % of the population are now immune to the virus and for whom this 'advice' is just laughable.

You're the one who brought up "immunity", are you now saying that no one is immune because of your O level biology, or that everyone is immune? Your comments are laughable, particularly the idea that "the Media" is to blame for science.

Damn that science stuff, can't we just stick with casual racism, right wing loons and a flat earth?

Antibody responses in individuals with laboratory-confirmed MERS-CoV infection lasted for at least 34 months after the outbreak.

Note that the 34 Months is duration since the first antibodies isolated and that report.

i.e. you will not detect antibodies unless you have been re-infected. Unless you wish to rewrite all of that 'Science stuff'

There is hardly any evidence for or against immunity, now the second wave has started we shall see how many will contract it for a second time
