A 25-year-old resident of Reno, Nevada was infected with the pandemic coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, two times, about 48-days apart, with the second infection causing a more severe case of COVID-19 than the first and requiring hospitalization and oxygen support.
That's according to a draft study, led by researchers at the University of Nevada and posted online. The study has not been published by a scientific journal and has not been peer-reviewed. Still, it drew quick attention from researchers, who have been examining data from the first confirmed case of a SARS-CoV-2 reinfection, reported earlier this week.

Amid the more than 24.5 million cases worldwide, it is completely expected to find some recovered patients who are not completely protected by their immune responses and are thus vulnerable to reinfection.The big question is: how common is this scenario?

Two things can be true at once.

(see Table 3)
6% of Covid deaths are from Covid alone.
94% of Covid deaths involved at least one other underlying health condition, and on average 2.6 additional conditions or causes of death.
The following were listed co conditions/causes
Influenza and pneumonia
Respiratory failure
Hypertensive disease
Diabetes
Vascular and unspecified dementia
Cardiac Arrest
Heart failure
Renal failure
Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events
Other medical conditions
Things start to break and weaken after 50, so age makes sense for being a correlation in disease caused deaths of almost any sort, and age can certainly be correlated positively with all of the above conditions.

Comparing just on age, a 50-64yo with covid has 30x the risk of death vs an 18-29yo.
There is a correlation between blood types and disease risk seen [mit.edu] with O and AB less likely to test positive, and A at increased risk.
