+ Iceland](https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2026116) (NEJM,
+ 2020-10-29). Conclusions: “Our results indicate that antiviral
+ antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 did not decline within 4 months after
+ diagnosis. We estimate that the risk of death from infection was
+ 0.3% and that 44% of persons infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Iceland
+ were not diagnosed by qPCR.”

+ (*Science* report, 2020-10-28). “We also show that titers are
+ relatively stable for at least a period approximating 5 months and
+ that anti-spike binding titers significantly correlate with
+ neutralization of authentic SARS-CoV-2. Our data suggests that more
+ than 90% of seroconverters make detectible neutralizing antibody
+ responses. These titers remain relatively stable for several months
+ after infection.”
