(15,116 posts)1. There will be a demarcation
But I would call it BT and AT.
Before Treatment and After Treatment.
There may never be a fully effective vaccine. We still don't have one for AIDS.
But if they can develop a really effective treatment, that won't keep people from getting sick, but it will reduce the number of dead.

(53,061 posts)2. Unknown if antibodies will retain virility to sustain defense
One recent study seemed to indicate that antibodies fade after surviving the initial attack.
The other question is whether the virus mutates so that any vaccine will have to be redone every year like the flu vaccine.
