People who have gotten the new coronavirus and recovered can get it again in the future, health authorities say — the body does not become immune after infection.
On Wednesday, Japanese authorities reported the first confirmed case of reinfection. A tour guide in Osaka first tested positive for the coronavirus in late January, then was discharged from the hospital three weeks ago after showing signs of recovery. But she returned to the hospital after developing a sore throat and chest pain and tested positive for the coronavirus once again.
Zhan Qingyuan, director of pneumonia prevention and treatment at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, warned last month that this could happen.
"For those patients who have been cured, there is a likelihood of a relapse," Zhan said in a briefing on January 31. "The antibody will be generated; however, in certain individuals, the antibody cannot last that long."
Reinfections among patients in China have been reported as well.
I was thinking about exponential:
-Sir, the virus spreads exponentially
Trump: ?
-sir, it's like a ponzi scheme.
Trump: that's bad, don't tell anyone!
-sir, they already know, even middleschoolers.
Trump: (dark cloud over head)

What I mean is, if a nurse contracted Covid19, then recovered, would they put that nurse back on staff, as an 'immune-nurse'?

It's not a given that infection guarantees subsequent immunity. In this case what doesn't kill you doesn't necessarily make you stronger - it still might kill you next time round. In the 1918 flu pandemic everybody who got it twice died.

Worried more than I would like, so to be productive, I've posted some home workout info on my 'athlete social media' platforms.
You guys are all good, so don't need it, but I think it's better to put my worry into productive efforts, rather than ruminating further on the media circus and what it suggests about the severity of this.
Be well, friends. To whoever I like the least here - I wish you a great cardio session, free of worry.

Exponentially? We had a fifth more cases yesterday and four deaths which were very elderly suffering other complaints. Not quite exponential?
20% more cases every day is exponential growth.
This is the graph for Germany:

Since when is 20% exponential? Sorry not what I was taught.
An asymptomatic infected individual is likely to pass the virus on to between 2 and 4 people. Do the maths.

Awright, the prez has talked... people are to stay home unless absolutely necessary, all meetings are forbidden, repression is promised... there have been important movements of troops seen around Paris, as if a blocus was planned.
The shit were actually using the sanitary emergency to set himself up as dictator, it would not look different.

The q-readers are saying this is cover for world-wide military operations crushing deep-seated corruption.
I wish they were right. I think it's more serious than that.
