[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I edge in here to ask possibly a dumb but sincere question?

If you get diagnosed (or not but Covid-19 coronavirus) and then recover are you immune from getting it again?

So these PPs illustrated above/children. Could they now be immune?  I was also very sick in Feb w a weird set of flu like symptoms, tested neg for flu, had a flu vax, spent one week in bed, weak and coughing.[/quote]

This is not easily answerable because we don't have good data.

There have been cases claiming to be reinfected, there has also been a case of a person 'cured' and sent home only to die from it a few days later. Most scientists think that you should develop immunities (like many other diseases) but there are these individual reports that are giving them pause. Testing is so inaccurate worldwide that someone testing 'negative' or 'positive' is kind of suspect in some places.

Basically, too early to answer that question with perfect confidence.[/quote]

Hey, thanks. As my DS would say, "you're cool."  I appreciate the reasonable response.[/quote]
