Is there even conclusive proof that people can be immune from the virus after being infected?
- dirtnugget 7y agoI think I even heard of people getting re-infected after having been cured
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoOpinions vary. Dr. Amesh Adalja is an infectious disease specialist, who thinks it's more likely that this isn't the case, and that it was just the impression given by false-negatives from the tests. (That is, if you test someone 3 times over 3 weeks, and see Infected, Uninfected, Infected, it could either be a false negative, or a reinfection.) I'm afraid I don't have a written source, I heard it in this interview podcast: https://samharris.org/podcasts/191-early-thoughts-pandemic/ https://samharris.org/podcasts/191-early-thoughts-pandemic/
