In relation to COVID article states
doesn’t read as idle speculation to me.

Yeah, this harks back to a paper I mentioned a while back where researchers in Singapore looked at T-cell responses to people who had COVID, has SARS 17 years ago or had neither. All COVID exposed patients had responses which isn't surprising. However, all SARS exposed patients showed some level of responses.
Most interestingly is that 19 out of 37 unexposed individuals also showed a response.
The only caveats are that the sample sizes are small and geographically localised in Singapore. Also, there is no further study of T-cell responses and clinical outcomes but all in all, things look hopeful...
EDIT - here's the paper for lovers of immunology and enjoy flow cytometry... -
