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 The study has not been published by a scientific journal and has not been peer-reviewed.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?

No. The reaction to it has been moronic in the extreme and I think I chose a very fitting moniker for it.

No.
Your ideas about this pandemic are what's extreme. Your opinion has been noted. Giving a pandemic disease a stupid nickname doesn't help your cause.
187000+ dead and counting.

A) Bullshit. Fake as fuck numbers counting anyone who tests positive and dies as a coronaids death, regardless of the actual cause.
B) Whoopdie shit. We let more far people die every year to maintain our overall prosperity. You reckon folks dying from coronaids is somehow worse than dying from any of the communicable diseases we do jack shit about every year? Cause it doesn't even come close to the death count from them.

Show me real evidence that these numbers are fake. It is already the third leading cause of death this year in the US (heart disease and cancer lead it). The evidence I've seen points towards those numbers being undercounted due to lack of testing.
The idea that COVID-19 is somehow a vast conspiracy to pull the wool over our eyes is patently ludicrous. It's not credible by any stretch of the imagination. You can believe what you want, and I'm not interested in convincing you otherwise. You're certainly not going to convince me with your assertions without evidence.

You really should look around for dissent on matters this important. Here [lynnwoodtimes.com] are [arizonadailyindependent.com] a [coloradosun.com] few [mynorthwest.com] for starters. And then there are the CDC's own guidelines that directly state medical facilities should report "probable" as well as verified cases.
