This ForbesUnder30 alum is figuring out how many people already have immunity against the coronavirus:
There’s one hitch though— we still don’t understand a lot about immunity to COVID-19, including how long people with antibodies are protected from getting the disease again. Some countries, including China and, are already seeing previously recovered people test positive for the virus again, though it isn’t known if these are true positives or due to faulty testing. That’s another part of the NIH study’s research, says Sadtler.
There are two ways that people can participate in the NIH study: either go in person for a blood draw at its lab in Maryland, or fill out a form and get a finger-prick kit sent directly to your door. People from all over the country can participate, Sadtler says, and the more participants they get, the better.
Sadtler says that she predicts they will find many more people who have antibodies to the virus than those who have already been tested for it. Hopefully, their work can help us better understand the immune response to COVID-19, and figure out how many people in our society will be protected from the next outbreak."Our goal is to slow the spread, flatten the curve as everyone's heard, and get our way to that vaccine," she says.
