no.

What happens is it mutates into the Coorsavirus.

If you survive that mutation, months later it appears again as the Budovirus.

Unless you get the foreign mutation. Then you get the StellaArtoisavirus

I frankly am tired of these articles. Where the heck is the real proof of these claims they have put out there for awhile now. Seems to me just a ploy to extend this hoax beyond elections to institute mail in voting. And we all know what those results will be.

RE: Can You Be Re-Infected After Recovering From Coronavirus?

If the anwser to this question is ‘YES’ (NOTE THE *IF*), then we can all forget about Plasma therapy and attempts to test for antibodies in other to see who is immune that scientists have been studying.

Good post. My biggest concern as an amateur observer is that people will be told they are OK to re-enter society too soon. The body will fight off the infection, but we don’t really know when that person is truly non-contagious. They may have immunity to re-infection but could still spread the disease to others unwittingly because the tests are not sensitive enough to detect small viral loads or give a false negative.

When I heard that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were seen going around town the other day, it really made me wonder. I am glad they are on the mend but I am not convinced that this two week period is sufficient to be safe for others. We don’t know enough about the disease or the tests.

It’s been reported that some of these tests only have an accuracy level of around sixty percent. Perhaps these reports of reinfected individuals are due to faulty tests?

From the article:

“...experts TIME spoke with say that it’s likely the reports of patients who seemed to have recovered but then tested positive again were not examples of re-infection, but were cases where lingering infection was not detected by tests for a period of time.
...
Experts say the body’s antibody response, triggered by the onset of a virus, means it is unlikely that patients who have recovered from COVID-19 can get re-infected so soon after contracting the virus. Antibodies are normally produced in a patient’s body around seven to 10 days after the initial onset of a virus, says Vineet Menachery, a virologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch.
...
There hasn’t been enough time to research COVID-19 in order to determine whether patients who recover from COVID-19 are immune to the disease—and if so, how long the immunity will last. However, preliminary studies provide some clues. For example, one study conducted by Chinese researchers (which has not yet been peer-reviewed) found that antibodies in rhesus monkeys kept primates that had recovered from COVID-19 from becoming infected again upon exposure to the virus.

I heard a Dr recently say that the antibodies probably protect people for 6mos up to a year. So if accurate, it would leave those infected now vulnerable to another bout in the Fall, if it reappears.

I bet they extrapolating people that had false positives. Their tests were not as accurate as people portray. That was part of the problem with our first round of testers.
