Are they similar enough to each other that they will be killed off by your new antibodies? I don't think anyone knows yet.
A few weeks ago I heard reporters, and I think one doctor say YES, you will have immunity. I was immediately, WTF?!
Since then... I've been avoiding anything on TV. For the most part, I'm reading what WHO releases and the John Hopkins newsletter.
Has anyone else heard of any other strains of this coronavirus popping up?

AS far as I know there was L strain and S strain of Covid-19. The thing about this coronavirus is that it mutates. One being more aggressive than the other. Not one news source has spoken much about the strains since then.
