Did you know you can get COVID 19, survive it and then get reinfected again? I don't know how many times. That's scary isn't it?

    Dr Fauci does not believe that:
    • Fauci responded that, while experts can't be 100% sure, he feels "really confident" that recovered coronavirus patients will have immunity.
    • He added that he'd be "willing to bet anything that people who recover are really protected against re-infection."

    Have you been listening to trump and fox news again?

    This is false.

    Unless there are underlying circumstances (never fully recovered, immune system not working correctly, etc.) once a person has the virus their body is "immune" to it (much like getting a flu shot).  They can, however, get another strain of the virus (mutation). 
    What's scary is that although these people may be "immune", they can still be carriers!  One does not have to be sick in order to carry a virus (clothing, skin, etc.)

    No....the "reinfection story" is sounds like an MSDNC report. This post was edited by my2cents at March 30, 2020 11:25 AM MDT

    It is? So that 10% REINFECTION rate is lie? My oh my. So everyone who gets COVID 19 ONCE is immune from ever getting it again? Oh my. Thank you for your reply Shuhak.

    Except in special cases (eg. person not fully recovered, immune system not functioning properly, etc. ), one builds an "immunity" or should I say "resistance" to it (meaning their body is better able to resist it - just like in a flu shot).  Now, how long that "immunity" lasts has not been determined yet.
