The immunological community on SARS-CoV-2

What exactly happens when you get Covid-19? Why does the disease progress differently? How does long-term immunity against the coronavirus develop? How do the various vaccines work and how safe are they?
Interest in immunological research has never been greater since the outbreak of the pandemic. Immunologists worldwide are trying to understand SARS-CoV-2 in order to fight the virus effectively.
