Catching COVID twice? - harm_less - 15-07-2020

Some worrying reports coming out regarding limitations of immunity from COVID and the implications this has for both herd immunity and immunisation strategies.

I think its possible with colds and flu too when its typically called a "relapse" usually your body has not fought it off properly and the virus has a chance to come back.

The potential issue under that scenario is whether the virus remains latent and undetectable before reactivating. This has worrying implications if 'recovered' cases return as active cases within our COVID free population.
