From one too many microbiology classes, but not an expert on coronaviruses, you'll have antibodies related to the virus (the strain) that made a home in your body.  Like most viruses, like the flu, the lil fuckers change, mutate, a lot.  A while back, I heard/read somewhere that there were already three different strains found in Washington state.  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.
