The article title is "Having SARS-CoV-2 once confers much greater immunity than a vaccine".

By removing the *-CoV-2 bit I though this was about SARS-CoV-1(commonly referred to as SARS) infection giving immunity against SARS-CoV-2(commonly referred to as COVID-19).

Sciencemag usually have titles that don't fit in HN, sacrifices have to be made...

Should have called it COVID instead, then. "SARS" is way too inaccurate.

Inaccurate? meh, somewhat misleading maybe. And a full "covid" wouldn't fit either, there's not even room to put in a space after the colon.

I do agree that it would have been better to cut in the other direction: cov-2 instead of sars.

The title would not fit and I agree that leaving only SARS its confusing. It would be better COVID.

Maybe @dang can do something about it.

Right. They should have called it HIV, which is even shorter!
