    From what I understand, once you've contracted & recovered from"19", you'll be immune to it. Glad to see him getting over it.

    It's a strange virus. You can have it and not even know...... or go from healthy to dead in a few days. So glad Bruce is doing better. Thankfully, the numbers from the last few days are very hopeful.

    Ouch! Glad he is on the mend. Just an observation: it may seem obvious, but it's worth repeating. The more people with whom you come in contact, the more likely you will contract the virus.

    A major problem is that it can be severe, or you might not know you even have it.

    I know at least 1 person who is a volunteer medic who got it twice already. Each weeks apart and starting and finishing with symptoms

    And once you've had chicken pox, you're immune from it, although you may get shingles decades later.

    At any rate, wishing him as well as any other lower profile people in our community speedy recoveries.

    This is unknown, actually. There are reports of re-infection. Coronaviruses in general often have limited post infection immunity.

    You are misinformed. Many folks who recovered have tested positive again. FACT and not something "I understand."

    Perhaps...but so is your "many folks" statement

    Scientists do not yet know enough about this new coronavirus. What percentage of people become immune to the virus if exposed? How strong is the immunity? Will it actually prevent reinfection? How long would this immunity last? Is it two years as the SARS study hints at or could it be much shorter than that? How does all of this vary from person to person? How many different versions of the virus may end up circulating?
