Maybe he should wear a sign stating he is a covid survivor and immune.

Three things come to mind. I don't think the experts have had enough time to determine if one becomes immune after being infected and then recovering. There's also the question of if one does become immune, how long might the immunity last. Currently there are about a half-dozen strains of Covid and I don't think we know yet if one who has recovered might be immune to one strain and not the others.

As always, I could be wrong.

The talk of vaccine as going back to normal world is so premature. This could be like the flu where the vaccine is best guess at next season flu. I hope that isn’t the case for covid where there isn’t full permanent immunity like we have for mumps and small pox. I find dIfferent strains of covid to be troubling.

Hey Dramadey, I just did some research and found this from August that might bring some comfort.

The virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, presents at least six strains. Despite its mutations, the virus shows little variability, and this is good news for the researchers working on a viable vaccine. SARS-CoV-2 mutation rate remains low.

As always, I could be wrong.
