According to a piece on fivelive yesterday then yes although the second infection for one guy, think in Asia was of a different variation as the virus has mutated..
It was also less severe, they used genome sequencing or something which confirm ed it was a new infection and not bits of the initial.. |

Your immune system is designed to fight re-infections on a quicker basis due to memory T cells. You produce T helper cells to aid the B cells to produce antibodies and T killer cells to exactly what it says on the tin. Due to these wonderful lymphocytes, a re-infection should be less severe and shorter. |

Thank you that's good to know I'm panicking here x

My reasearch found 3 "possible" cases of reinfection (or at least positive test following recovery from previous infection and then negative test.) Unclear as to IF a new infection....but in no cases could the virus be cultured from samples (e.g. it was dead).
Possibly leading to assumption it had been killed by immune system.
Science uncertain as yet....but promising! |

"According to fab experts, dozens of them have had it twice, many of them last year
According to scientists it's 1 in a billion
In reality nobody can answer that yet"
I posted research the other day that totaled 3 confirmed re-infection cases 'only' across the developed world. And that of those 3 re-infections they were in poor health at both times of infection.

Looked after several patients who have had covid twice tested positive, test negative post 14 days, as per polciy every patient returning to a care home requires a swab 24h b4 discharge and returned positive again

A possibility of a false negative? |

Or seeing the evidence in person...

So far the evidence is yes a very tiny proportion may produce a second positive test within 12 months. Long term no one can be sure, it’s too soon to know for certain. The following are certainly possible scenarios that could result in a second infection ... ingesting a very high load of the virus, having a compromised immune system, being exposed to a mutated strain of the virus which as different protein markers. I am not aware such a mutation has been identified so far, it would make a successful vaccination program much more difficult
