I'm seeing/hearing a lot of assumption that an antibody positive necessarily means immunity, but also think I saw a headline saying only a small fraction of positive antibody people have immunity.

The general thought (based on experience with other coronaviruses) is antibodies confer immunity in this one. What titer level prevents getting it, if at all and for how long every doctor will say they have no fucking idea.
In the beginning they were taking anyone who had a titer level of over 320 for plasma donations, then they switched to 960 and above.
Now they are saying they are taking plasma donations within the 1st month of recovery.
