I wonder is it known if any survivors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus type 1 during the 2002-2003 have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 during this pandemic and had a shorter duration of illness, or faster immune response?

The two coronaviruses are close enough that there could be antibody cross reactivity, and I wonder if immunity towards SARS-CoV-2 translates to some protection from SARS-CoV-1 in the event that makes its way into humans again.

Answer to Has the SARS virus become extinct? by Haley Euphemia Sands https://www.quora.com/Has-the-SARS-virus-become-extinct/answer/Haley-Euphemia-Sands

{

No, SARS is not extinct, it circulates in bats.

Also technically circulating in humans again, the virus that causes COVID 19 is SARS-CoV-2 or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus type 2 which was named in February by the International Comittee on Taxonomy of Viruses they concluded that the genomic similarities were close enough to include under the species of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome related Coronavirus the only difference is slight presentation in illness and a lower cfr when compared to SARS-CoV-1 (you may also hear this refered to as SARS 2003 virus).

Extra note: the two illnesses caused by the SARS-CoV virus depending on what the type is; SARS for type 1, and COVID-19 for type 2.
