So, Milhouse, wearing a mask doesn't do anyone around me any good. I'm not contagious and can't get it again. And if you say I can, why make a vaccine? Wear your mask it if you want.

BTW, I know the flu mutates which is why they make a new vaccine every year. The good news about Corona viruses is they get weaker each time they mutate.

For a science teacher you know surprisingly little about science. You are particularly ill informed about Covid 19.

Quote: Antibody tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which may tell you if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Antibodies are proteins that help fight off infections and can provide protection against getting that disease again (immunity). Antibodies are disease specific. For example, measles antibodies will protect you from getting measles if you are exposed to it again, but they won’t protect you from getting mumps if you are exposed to mumps.

Except in instances in which viral testing is delayed, antibody tests should not be used to diagnose a current COVID-19 infection. An antibody test may not show if you have a current COVID-19 infection because it can take 1–3 weeks after infection for your body to make antibodies. To see if you are currently infected, you need a viral test. Viral tests identify the virus in samples from your respiratory system, such as a swab from the inside of your nose.

If you test positive or negative for COVID-19 on a viral or an antibody test, you still should take preventive measures to protect yourself and others.

We do not know yet if people who recover from COVID-19 can get infected again. Scientists are working to understand this.

You should read all of it, but pay particular attention to the sentence in bold.
