You can catch it.

You can fight and recover from it.

You can be released from the hospital.

AND THEN

It appears you can catch it again.

This is very different.

@joelhamill ‘rare’ they say ... but then so was the original outbreak in the beginning.

@JohnPhilpin @joelhamill Not surprising since there isn't a vaccine yet. It's a virus and until you build an immunity against it, you can be reinfected.

@JohnPhilpin @joelhamill @pratik Ars Techinca has a great resource for keeping up with the latest facts and they are skeptical of the reinfection claim:

The tests used to determine if someone is infected rely on detecting tiny fragments of genetic material from the virus. While this is a good indication that someone has been infected, it doesn’t necessarily indicate that an infection is active or the genetic material is from an intact, infectious viral particle. The tests may simply be picking up genetic remnants of a past infection.

@Bruce Thankyou ....

@Bruce Interesting.
