Immunity

The elderly died less often than expected during the Spanish Influenza.  Medical Historian speculate that another influenza from the 1860s may have been similar enough to provide partial immunity in the children who caught it then. Also, viruses can echo back in slightly different forms in 10 years or twenty.

I wonder if the children going through C19 will develop a partial immunity to later viruses related to this one.
