Antibodies wane pretty quickly. But memory cells remember how to crank them out again when needed. There's no good test for memory cells afaik.
Which is why it's very hard to make policy based on whether or not someone was sick with covid. It works on a personal level - if you know you had it and know your were sick. But it falls down hard on a policy level - since so many people will think they had it but didn't, and how do you define "sick"?
