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 The study has not been published by a scientific journal and has not been peer-reviewed.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

    Yeah, I knew I had to use the entities and thought I had, and checked it in preview...

    I have played around a bit and figured out what I did:

    - if you forget the semicolon (so use "&lt &gt")
    - and then use preview, it shows up "correct" (as expected if you had remembered the ; i.e. "< >" ) in the _preview_
    - BUT it also turns it into < > in the _comment_
    - so if you forget the semicolon, hit preview, check preview, and then submit, your posted comment is not like the preview

    Not sure if you consider that a bug or just an idiot user who hasn't edited raw html in a long time (and doesn't miss it). Hopefully I've actually got the html entities right this time so it makes sense...
