Uh Oh. Hong Kong Reports First Confirmed Case Of Man Infected With COVID-19 For A Second Time! Finding Suggests Some Recovered Patients May Have Only Short-lived Immunity

You spelled OMG STFU! wrong.

:)

I seriously doubt the veracity of this — if reinfection were probable, then we could assume Italy would be a nightmare again. More BS

2nd time positive PCR but asymptomatic.

If you have no symptoms, you are not friken sick!!!!!!

What the study actually shows is that if you get sick (symptoms) from 1 strain of covid, after recovery YOU ARE IMMUNE from other strains!!! This is great news, spun as bad news.

What a crock!!!

until the RATS capture the Presidency, Senate and House.

Waaaaaaaaa! Hysteria in the background media, too.

Five months. That’s not bad at all. I’ll take the vaccine every now and then and get some work done.

There have been many cases reported that those infected and recovered are infected again. It is a weaponized flu bug. How many get re-infected by the flu bug year after year? Too many to count.

Exactly! But won’t everyone die from heart arrhythmia? /s

[Pollster1]

Mild symptoms the first time. No symptoms the second time. Why would anyone care if you can get an infection that doesn’t affect you? Fear porn is silly.

[Gulf War One]

Okay, let’s play the game by their rules.

“Okay, this is a sample of one. Double blind study, or STFU!”

[tinyowl]

Fear. Mongering.

If this is the real situation we’re dealing with, blood plasma treatments such as the one the President announced the other day aren’t going to be as much of a path to salvation as we’d hoped. Or at least they won’t produce the long-term immunity we need to see if we’re really going to beat this thing down into manageable numbers.

More ignorance. This scare is nothing new, and is countered by research that shows (from the NYT no less),

Scientists See Signs of Lasting Immunity to Covid-19, Even After Mild Infections

New research indicates that human immune system cells are storing information about the coronavirus so they can fight it off again.... Several studies, including those led by Dr. Bhattacharya and Dr. Pepper, have found antibodies capable of incapacitating the coronavirus lingering at low levels in the blood months after people have recovered from Covid-19.

Antibodies also come with an expiration date: Because they are inanimate proteins and not living cells, they can’t replenish themselves, and so disappear from the blood just weeks or months after they are produced. Hordes of antibodies appear shortly after a virus has breached the body’s barriers, then wane as the threat dissipates. Most of the B cells that produce these early antibodies die off as well.

But even when not under siege, the body retains a battalion of longer-lived B cells that can churn out virus-fighting antibodies en masse, should they prove useful again. Some patrol the bloodstream, waiting to be triggered anew; others retreat into the bone marrow, generating small amounts of antibodies that are detectable years, sometimes decades, after an infection is over. Several studies, including those led by Dr. Bhattacharya and Dr. Pepper, have found antibodies capable of incapacitating the coronavirus lingering at low levels in the blood months after people have recovered from Covid-19.

Some illnesses, like the flu, can plague populations repeatedly. But that is at least partly attributable to the high mutation rates of influenza viruses, which can quickly make the pathogens unrecognizable to the immune system. Coronaviruses, in contrast, tend to change their appearance less readily from year to year. - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/16/health/coronavirus-immunity-antibodies.html

Scared That Covid-19 Immunity Won’t Last? Don’t Be

...Hong Kong’s researchers are now compromised?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The same Hong Kong now under CCP control? Precisely when the CCP brags of a vaccine & then, within days, POTUS touts a therapeutic that depends on antibodies/T cells and B-cells?

That Hong Kong?

This is a war of so many fronts.
