Finding out "who got it" would in no way provide any indication of
how many people are immune, which was what Martin was asking about.
Given that it is a virus that has not been experienced by humans
before, it seems unlikely that there will yet be a significant number
of immune people around, since that's only likely to have arisen in
people who have already been infected fairly early during the current outbreak.
Kind Regards,
John
