Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I was basing the immunity question on comments from doctors like the below quote. It sounds like one won't easily be re-infected with the same strain? But if it mutates later, or your antibodies diminish, then you could get re-infected? That doesn't sound as bad as being stuck in an infinite loop of re-infection.
If you survive, are you immune?
People who are infected and then recover will likely show some immunity to the virus.
But it’s not lifelong. It wanes over time. If it’s seasonal, it may ebb and flow.
