Not really, given that the genetic strains are pretty well tracked and regionally locked.
It's more likely that the reinfections came from different immune responses, where the first infection was beat with a cytotoxic T-cell response (viral defense) but not an antibody response (viral and bacterial defense), the latter of which increases immunity with antibodies.
- anonymousiam 6y agoCould you please post a source for SARS-Cov-19 genetic strain tracking? Are all of the testing facilities doing gene sequencing on their positive results? The re-infection cases that I read about were shown to have been from different strains. Perhaps this is not the common case, but without more information, I am reluctant to accept your statement at face value.
