So quick question on immunity since I’m admittedly ignorant. Would continued exposure to the virus after you have had it and still in the stage where you have enough antibodies to be immune prolong the immunity? Like if you gave your body a reason to keep producing antibodies would it do it or would it not help?

So far, the evidence says no.

Your T-cells, or memory cells, encode the antibody response, and reduces antibody production as part of a scaled response. A threshold level of antibodies will combat cellular reproduction of the virus rna. Exposure during this period will not initiate a new response from the T cells. Over time, antibody production reduces creating the environment for a new opportunistic infection. Then the response of the T cells initiated a new cascade of antibodies.

Part of the problem lies in the variants and overlaps in the RNA sequencing. Each successive infection should produce a more efficient response. The variants disrupt this efficient process, causing the memory cells to edit the response.

If it could be known the variant and response that would come with continued low viral exposure, then that would be an opportunity. But the RNA variants are so many, and each individualized response is different this is an ineffective methodology called herd immunity.

The common cold is a corona virus. It has many variants, but frequent exposure to it does nothing for immunity except for the short period antibodies exist.
