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 The study has not been published by a scientific journal and has not been peer-reviewed.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

    Wonder if any of the folks they've found this issue in have been doing the ketosis thing. Little to no glucose in your system should mean it'd have a very hard time causing any problems with vitamin C uptake.

    Looks like they didnt get any patients: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04358835 [clinicaltrials.gov]

    Here they recommend trying a low carb diet: https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2020/07/09/bmjebm-2020-111451 [bmj.com]

    Other people suggest injecting ketones directly: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7362813/ [nih.gov]

    But yea I don't see any reports of diet and covid, I would expect a keto diet is beneficial though.

      So smoke, do keto, take vitamin C, go play outside, and if you're in possession of huge amounts of melanin take some vitamin D. Sounds a lot less burdensome than wearing a mask.

        I'd only add get a pulse oximeter and if you feel sick and your spO2 starts dropping do not wait for weeks before getting supplemental oxygen. And the best way to do that is probably hyperbaric chambers. Especially since its now being reported that methemoglbin levels are high and total hemoglobin levels are low. HBOT bypasses hemoglobin and forces the oxygen to dissolve directly in the blood.

        We've known all this since mid-April (some since February). Everyone who has died since then has died from inept medical treatment.

        What we have here is further evidence that you have murder in your heart.

        And before you go "WTF, where do you get that from?!?", ask yourself why you're OK with not performing a simple action which doing, saves lives, and not doing endangers lives.

        You really, really, really should go and look up the definition of pandemic. Like it or not, you're in the same foxhole as everyone else in the world. You're like the new recruit who has decided to take up juggling hand grenades out of boredom.

          If you hide inside, avoid the doctor until you have been sick for weeks, and then get put on a ventilator right away, then you will die of covid. If you take the measures recommended by the parent you will be fine.

          Do you know what happens to a pandemic that 99.9+% of people survive when you let everyone get it and become immune long enough to not catch the same strain again? That strain goes the fuck away permanently and the death toll for the first year is the entire death toll for all time. When you drag it out you allow time for acquired immunity to be lost and absolutely guarantee that your death toll will be much, much higher.
