I really don't like the cavalier attitude with which this author treats the open question of Coronavirus immunity. "Let's assume it's more likely than not going to generate immunity" (paraphrased) seems unfair, and that a fair treatment would simply consider both alternatives.
- jsight 7y agoI don't know who you are wanting to be "fair" to here. The stronger evidence seems to be on the side immunity.
- dwaltrip 7y agoDo you have links to solid evidence? I saw an article from an expert (I'm blanking on the specific article right now) that other "cov" viruses are known to have a limited immunity that lasts for possibly several weeks or so.
- jsight 7y agoI wouldn't bet on "solid" evidence for a while. Hang around the /r/covid19 subreddit for the latest data. There have been very few reported cases of someone getting it again and of those a lot of evidence points to relapse rather than reinfection. Given the large # of cases and their high concentrations in specific places, it seems likely that we would see many cases of reinfection if previous patients weren't immune.
