Nope, but if you can get it and recover and get it again sounds like you haven’t really gotten rid of it. This data is a month old collection and Cases are reoccurring in people that have had it, already?
****************************************************************************************
I have read nothing that says anything about reoccurring cases in people that have already had it.

Even if it is so, that would make it like the common cold. Not a big deal for most people.

FROM THE ARTICLE:
*******
A 33-year-old otherwise healthy German businessman (Patient 1) became ill with a sore throat, chills, and myalgias on January 24, 2020. The following day, a fever of 39.1°C (102.4°F) developed, along with a productive cough. By the evening of the next day, he started feeling better and went back to work on January 27.

Before the onset of symptoms, he had attended meetings with a Chinese business partner at his company near Munich on January 20 and 21. The business partner, a Shanghai resident, had visited Germany between Jan. 19 and 22. During her stay, she had been well with no signs or symptoms of infection but had become ill on her flight back to China, where she tested positive for 2019-nCoV on January 26 (index patient in Figure 1).
*******
Patient 1 was not 100% “cured”. Even after a person “gets over” a virus, the body can continue to “shed” material that is still contagious. Exactly how long this will be is not known for this new strain.

The conclusion of this article is that treatment of these patients who are not that sick-not in need of ventilators etc. could probably be outside a hospital setting, since the flu season is here, and hospital beds tend to be limited during flu season.

Pretty sure that the article says you get it and you recover and you still have it. Maybe the headline is alarmist. Does that mean you can give it to someone after you recover. Does that mean you can relapse. Article say a guy in germany got it, later felt sick, skipped a day of work, went back to work and then felt sick again.

Yep. NEJM report...

“So far, none of the four confirmed patients show signs of severe clinical illness.”
“Despite these concerns, all four patients who were seen in Munich have had mild cases and were hospitalized primarily for public health purposes.”

The corona ‘cold’ is spreading when those infected do not APPEAR TO show symptoms (although I’m sure a healthcare professional was not following them around prior to their seeking intervention to actually document symptoms). Note ‘fatigue’ is a symptom...when I travel across time zones, I always am fatigued...was this a missed symptom?

Compare...for the common cold, “Your symptoms usually start between 1 and 3 days after you get infected with a cold virus. They typically last for about 3 to 7 days. By then the worst is over, but you may feel stuffed up for a week or more...You’re most contagious during the first 3 days that you’re sick, but it’s still possible to spread it during the first week.”
