Please do not. South Korea is seeing reinfection in some individuals who had previously tested negative twice after recovering.

WSJ and South Korean data. Your kidding right - maybe Al Jazeera with Chinese data?

How about John Hopkins University and data from the USA.

Quote:But the situation for SARS-CoV-2 is very different: COVID-19 carries a much higher risk of severe disease and even death.

That John Hopkins study stressed the importance of vaccination for herd immunity. It also didn't make any claim that getting covid-19 gives you immunity to it. It's said that is the case with some prior strains.

Anyways, that study was informative so glad it was posted. We're still early and still learning a lot. Models will continue to change as more information comes in. What we know is that it spreads rapidly and has already killed 35000+ despite unprecedented efforts. The goal is obviously to get back to normal life but that's going to be gradual and hopefully will have more widespread testing and contact tracing to help get us there

We all agree vaccination is important. Just 12 months from development, testing, and approval. We certainly can't wait that long.
