COVID19: Are survivors immune from re-infection?

Posted by ajp2019 @ajp2019, Mar 24, 2020

Chatting is OK - But a few facts might be useful too - Like - Are 'survivors' of CoVid19 immune from a re-infection?
For example, as we are after the 'flu'.
Plenty more questions. Just looking for 'Informed' responses. . . . .

@zeiracorp- A lot of people are wondering the same things, I'm sure. Are you surprised that we don't know yet about reinfection? Not enough time nor research has happened to answer the time question. Know one knows yet if this will just be a deadly virus that goes away and never comes back. Or it could be a virus such as herpes or acts like Lyme where there are chronic symptoms that pop up now and then. I recommend watching this video.

@ajp2019- Please look at this video. It is the best we know as of yesterday. Unfortunately we can not know enough about this virus. We've only really had it in the US for a few weeks. We have to be patient. And I don't mean to sound patronizing. We just don't have any answers.
