Those who thought getting the coronavirus once was bad enough may not be comforted by new research from South Korea.
Jeong Eun-kyeong, the director of South Korea's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned on Monday that the coronavirus may be able to reactivate in people who have been "cured" of the disease because 51 patients tested positive for the virus after being discharged with negative results.
“While we are putting more weight on reactivation as the possible cause, we are conducting a comprehensive study on this,” Jeong said. “There have been many cases when a patient during treatment will test negative one day and positive another.”
Patients are considered recovered when they test negative for the disease twice within a 24-hour interval. Similar worries of reactivation have scared Chinese citizens in Wuhan, many of whom fled the city after a 10-week lockdown was lifted on April 7.
South Korean officials have been lauded for their efforts to keep the coronavirus from overwhelming hospitals and resources. As of Thursday afternoon, South Korea reported over 10,000 cases but only 204 deaths, which represents a sharp contrast to countries such as Italy, Spain, and the United States, where the number of cases and death rates have been much higher.
Sounds more like defective tests to me.
Probably deliberately defective.
False positives?
Big whoop
Chris Martenson gets into the weeds on this issue here:

There is a lot we still don’t know about this virus.
Those who claim otherwise are not paying close attention.
Obviously the tests aren't sensitive enough.
However, since it's the media, it must be cast as the horror of the returning zombie virus killer.
Parasite?
Sounds more like defective tests to me.
*******************************
Agree — false negative results.
Shouldn’t the check for antigens to see if they for sure had it?
Pretty much.
But defective tests aren’t as sexy a headline as it “reactivating”.
Pretty much.
But defective tests, or people with minor traces of it aren’t as sexy a headline as it “reactivating”.
They better reanalyze/study/investigate the test kits for excessive false negatives before claiming the issue is “re-infection”.
Sounds a lot like a testing issue.
They know better than me, but it sure seems like it.
This virus is an engineered bio weapon. There is just no telling what will happen with it.
Early reports is the Chinese Communists mixed Coronavirus with HIV. Could these Commie bastards have made a virus that just doesn’t go away? Like HIV, herpes and a host of other viruses?
Yeah lets not go there yet.
The WE is a solid paper i think.
But we found out that the Chinese thought the same thing but it turned out they were letting people go too early.
Let’s keep a lid on this before another 1111 trillion stimulus is passed
Utterly false.
Disproved into dust by Rush Limbaugh’s Law of Herd Immunity.
Derp derp.

Information from china in the early days was that it was an reactivating virus, like HIV and should be thought of that way.
Yeah even Dr. Tony didn’t sound like he was buying this one.
Or the initial cases were very mild and gave limited immunity. This can happen with (or did before the vaccine) chicken pox too.
