There has been very little written on cross immunity to COVID.
I am a retired RN, and one of my weirder hobbies is reading obscure medical research. I remember reading long ago that veterinarians are the occupational group least likely to get sick. It was postulated that the vets were exposed to a number of coronaviruses from the dogs…

I am a retired RN, and one of my weirder hobbies is reading obscure medical research. I remember reading long ago that veterinarians are the occupational group least likely to get sick. It was postulated that the vets were exposed to a number of coronaviruses from the dogs that they treat, since canines are a reservoir of that virus, and that the vets developed cross immunity.
As a precaution, I started kissing my dog every day (along with taking Vit D, C and Zinc) as soon as the pandemic started heating up. I realize that I am an N of 1, but when I contracted COVID last January I was fine 2 days later. I am 66. I had my antibodies tested in May, and still showed a strong titer.
