A rundown of all the good coronavirus news from recent days — and all the bad coronavirus news

In recent months, the widely observed phenomenon of people recovering from COVID-19, only to test positive again weeks later, had forced policymakers to contemplate a nightmarish possibility — that humans are incapable of producing antibodies that confer lasting immunity against SARS-CoV-2. A recent study of people in Singapore who had contracted severe acute respiratory syndrome in the early aughts found they retain “significant levels of neutralizing antibodies” for nine to 17 years after initial infection. Since the COVID-19 virus is a cousin of SARS, this finding is another promising sign that humans may develop long-lasting immunity to the former.
4) An experimental vaccine triggered an immune response — and no significantly adverse health problems — in eight human beings. Last week, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model revised its projection for the total number of U.S. coronavirus deaths sharply upward, anticipating a surge in cases following the reopening of several states’ economies. But the latest iteration of the model is a bit more sanguine. Researchers say this is likely because the correlation between the rate of COVID-19’s spread, and increases in human mobility, has proven weaker than anticipated.
A new review of studies on the mental health of coronavirus patients offers the shocking insight that some people with severe cases of COVID-19 experience “delirium, confusion, and agitation” while hospitalized for their life-threatening ailment. Fortunately, the review also suggests that “no longer being at risk of suffocating to death” has a beneficent impact on the mental health of COVID-19 survivors, most of whom do not appear to suffer from mental health problems post-infection.
Last month, a pair of very flawed studies from California suggested that an enormous number of Americans may have already been infected by the novel coronavirus without ever realizing it. This would mean both that the bug is much less lethal than official data suggests , and that America is much closer to achieving herd immunity than previously assumed.
5) A disconcertingly high percentage of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in New York City developed kidney problems.
