Living through COVID does not guarantee immunity.

The finding suggests that some patients who recover from COVID-19 may have only short-lived immunity to reinfection.

My bet is that Covid will be like the flu, as in it will be a recurring instance. Hopefully its incidence will be lower.

The other question is, will it be the same/milder/worse in subsequent cases?

Have you watched The Walking Dead?

I fear you're right, although my hope is that it's like the Spanish Flu and will eventually be eradicated, especially with a good vaccine.

viruses all tend to mutate.

There's a lot to learn in such a short amount of time. These things normally take years or even decades to fully understand. At least we know that wearing masks and socially distancing works in areas where they choose to use it.

No we don't, yet.

Yes, we do. One thing I won't debate here is whether or not masks work, it's misinformation that we should all take very seriously and frankly spreading it can cost lives. Please, do not engage in it on this site.

If we follow the guidelines set by the CDC and our medical experts, it has proven to slow or stop the spread.

Fair enough. As you know, I am pro-masks, big time.
I was being anal on the "know", as in there are no conclusive studies. Lots of evidence in favor of masks, but still no conclusive studies on their effectiveness, especially on a large scale.

I need to get around to watching that one of these days. I saw the first episode, liked it, but ended up drifting off to something else for some reason.

Problem is, there are so many great shows these days, it's hard to watch them all.

So much that we still don’t know. We have to continue taking this seriously.
