That's a very I Don't Know type of article.
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoAgreed. Poor quality article with little of value to convey beyond those three words, buffed out to the size required of the format.
- jhayward 7y agoJust because the article doesn't tie everything up in a nice back and white bow doesn't mean it is low quality. The answer to the question is "we don't know, it's complicated". It's not a screenplay we're in, reality is messy.
- alexandercrohde 7y agoThat's fine, so long as the article lets you know that up-front. Title it "Why we don't know yet whether you can get Corona a second time."
- thawaway1837 7y agoThis is, literally, the first sentence in the article. > It's unclear whether people who recover from COVID-19 will be immune to reinfection from the coronavirus and, if so, how long that immunity will last. There are abstracts of scientific papers that are not as upfront about their results as the first sentence of this article is.
- jhayward 7y agoIf you think that's frustrating, wait until you read about Antibody Dependent Enhancement [1], which is the situation where antibodies from a previous infection actually enhance the virulence of a subsequent exposure. Immunology is complicated and dynamic. That's why it takes 12-18 months to prove that a new vaccine won't end up being worse than the disease. [1]
