51 patients "reinfected" with Coronavirus....

The coronavirus may be “reactivating” in people who have been cured of the illness, according to Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


About 51 patients classed as having been cured in South Korea have tested positive again, the CDC said in a briefing on Monday. Rather than being infected again, the virus may have been reactivated in these people, given they tested positive again shortly after being released from quarantine, said Jeong Eun-kyeong, director-general of the Korean CDC.

Fauci just said at the nightly briefing not to trust those findings.

He said that he needs to see the underlying data before he would agree with that. He sounded very skeptical.

"Can You Get Sick With Coronavirus Twice? The Jury Is Still Out"

It’s one of the biggest unanswered questions in the world at the moment. Once someone has had COVID-19, can they get it again? As with seemingly everything concerning the coronavirus pandemic, such as “masks, to wear or not to wear?” and “does hydroxychloroquine treat COVID-19?”, the answer is, unfortunately, not straightforward.

Another Forbes contributor Bruce. Y. Lee covered many of the main points and what we knew a few weeks ago here, but since then, more reports of people appearing to be re-infected with the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus are popping up everywhere.

...Although no conclusions about this immunity question can currently be definitively made, a new preprint study from China suggests that some people who have recovered from a mild bout of COVID-19 may have very low, or even undetectable levels of protective antibodies against the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus, with the researchers claiming that their study is the first systematic examination of antibody levels in people who have recovered from the disease.

The study looked at blood samples from 175 patients from Shanghai who had experienced mild cases of COVID-19 and subsequently recovered. They found that almost a third of those who recovered had low levels of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against the virus, with ten patients having no detectable level of the neutralizing antibodies at all.</fbs-ad>https://www.forbes.com/sites/victor...merge-but-the-jury-is-still-out/#118ee5ba31a5
