I happened to spot on Flt Radar that KA were doing base training this morning in a 320 at Macau.
What a waste of time, money, and effort.

I don't share your optimism.

I’ve seen a lot of reports on just that and it’s not proven.

Agree, ACMS. By all accounts, you won't get it again (but you can get another strain, if it develops). That's why one flu vaccine is not enough for the elderly, and each vaccine only covers some strains.

Got a reliable, peer-reviewed source for that please?

This is typical of all Coronaviruses. The characteristic spikes are a defence against anti-bodies latching onto the virus, and if these spikes are subject to mutation, then 'last years' antibodies wont work. This is why the common cold and norovirus come back each year and re-infect, and a new flu vaccine has to be produced every season. SARS didn't come back, we don't know about this one yet.

Peer reviewed takes a long time, and this has only been going on for a few months, so it takes too long to get peer reviewed advice at the moment.
