Misses a few points.
Antibody testing is woefully insensitive. A small amount of antibodies may not be detected.
If you have been exposed once and did not die the chances of a second exposure killing you are slim.
Antibody tests do not test for T or B helper cells. T and B helper cells from this or other SARS bugs will likely protect you. That is what they do.
There are a large % of the population that is naturally immune to SARS virus’.
Look at the Diamond Princess experience for some additional guidance.
