Perhaps a relapse and not necessarily a second time?
My bet is present testing is far from 100% accurate.
Take notice
From what I have read, it sounds like she never truly recovered fully in the first place
14% of those “cured” in China in one area are now positive again and 3 days ago China announced that after being “cured” you have to go into a 14 day quarantine
so what does that tell you
Highly unlikely that she was “re-infected”, especially when she was isolated at home. I suspect the infection was not cleared from some areas. Organs? Hopefully this does not turn out to be common. Maybe testing of blood, urine and stool in addition to sputum before being cleared, along with quarantine and a follow up test after some specified time period.
You guys do know that after you get the regular flu, you do catch it again as well?
If you are going to sit around on the internet breathlessly reading news feeds on this, then at least TRY to learn more about it.
I suspect the testing for the virus needs improvement and could currently be producing false negatives.
The woman’s initial treatment could have made her feel well, while the virus - missed by a false negative test - lingered in her body. As treatment retreated after she left the hospital, the virus regained strength in her and she felt ill again. I suspect that above a second infection.

Raise your hand if you didn’t pick up on “tour bus guide”
If she was not completely cured, and it’s a relapse, we can breathe more easily. If people do not develop immunity to the disease after getting it, we’re screwed.
What is the number of people who got it a second time?
Lends some credence to the original thought that this was an engineered bio-weapon that got out by accident. Rainbow 6 come to life.
It may turn out to be like HIV - your immune system can knock it back for a while, but you need to take anti-viral drugs forever to keep it at bay.
Oh Noes, we’re doomed!
Good grief this hysteria is fu*king getting old! Tomorrow it will be something new for the hand wringers to lose their minds over!
More people are still dying from Influenza A & B! Please save your breath trying to tell me how less than 3,000 people drying from COVID-19 is worse than 25,000 dying from Influenza!
Meh.

I think it’s time for China to destroy their lab in Wuhan...then they should apologize to the rest of us... all of us... the whole friggin world.
