So, if a lot of people have already had it, which I see a lot of people thinking they did, we need to find out if you can get reinfected.

- yardstick 7y agoYeah this point has been bugging me for a while now. What’s the reinfection rate / immunity rate? I know there are some reinfections but does that mean everyone can be reinfected or is it just a fraction that don’t gain immunity?
- aivosha 7y agolots of “reinfections” were debunked as false positives. search on r/COVID19 for details.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoAnd it should be emphasized that 100% of reported reinfections were just news reports saying "hey this person tested positive after testing negative" - there was never tremendously strong evidence for it.
- taeric 7y agoThere is also the question of why is it so severe in places? And could it get that severe elsewhere? Studies of SARS showed that regions with high pollution were significantly more at risk for death from it. If that is the case for this, the severity expected in many parts of the world will be considerably lower than projected. Again, stay home. I am not encouraging breaking self distancing. The panic message is worrying me because everyone seems to only be looking for reasons to panic.
