In actual fact, immunity against one virus does (but not always) precipitate an immunity to another virus of the same class.
Of course, taking a 9mm once does not protect against taking a 9mm again, let alone taking a .45. Progressing all the way to eventually acquiring nukular immunity is like saying strong viral immunity will provide protection against bacteria.
Comparing a .45 to a coronavirus is like comparing a bumper sticker to War and Peace, even facetiously just to make a point. Effective and if it works for you, spread the word!

Agreed.
There's a lot of false equivalency in this thread.
The fact is, the healthy human body does an amazing job defending against viruses and bacteria. Indeed, we've evolved to symbiotically co-opt some to assist with our digestion and metabolic processes. We're made up of more foreign cells than human cells.
At risk people should wear quality masks. Everyone else should be allowed get on with their lives.
