No, but I got a double dose of hypocristy, lies and just plain disinformation from Democrats and the media. Does that count?
Some of the tests will indicate a positive after the virus has died off. It appears to be due to fragments of virus particles remaining in the serum.
We have some pretty poor reporting going on from the main stream press, they are worse than the scams you get spammed on line about.
People are confused what positive means with different types of tests.
People shedding dead viruses were giving false positives weeks after they recovered.
You can test positive many times even though you do not have the disease. Lots of tests have been flawed.
Unlikely because given the number of cases in New York people getting it twice would probably have been observed numerous times and it wouldn’t be a question, it would be established.
I suffered through a 6 week long bout of shingles several years ago, thank God it was mild. Even so, I would not like a repeat of it. I would be concerned that the CCP-Coronavirus may go dormant, like the chicken pox, only to re-appear at a much later date, with much nastier symptoms, like shingles does.
I’ve also heard that after being declared CCP-Coronavirus free, sometimes the tests show a ‘false positive’. It doesn’t appear that one can get the virus a second time, at least not so soon after being rid of it.
What about USS Theodore Roosevelt?
Third time’s the charm!
the better question - many many of those are **false positives**?
Shingles came to mind when I heard reports of children who had Wuhan and recovered, later came up with strange symptoms like rashes.
flu
Probably a false positive!!
Has anyone confirmed that the “test” is 100% accurate, or even reasonably close to 100%?
“What about USS Theodore Roosevelt?”
If you read the article it stated it wasn’t known if they actually got it twice or it was from the first (only) time.
It wasn’t clear but the headlines were sensational and did not reflect what was actually reported.
another typically sensationalist headline.

Can you get Covid-19 againand again? I answer some of the most vexing questions about the virus here.

Stanley Shih: Fact: If you doubt that recovering from COVID-19 confers immunity, then you necessarily also doubt the efficacy of a vaccine to confer immunity. If you believe that a vaccine would confer immunity, then you believe that recovering from COVID-19 confers immunity.
Yash: Wasn’t the south korea evidence proven to be a case of false positive?

I think we are still fine tuning the testing aspect.
Makes sense. Hopefully our scientists from CDC are gathering data from that ship and we are able to learn a lot about the virus. Hopefully we are able to get immunity and we are good to go!
“...Some of the tests will indicate a positive after the virus has died off. It appears to be due to fragments of virus particles remaining in the serum.....”
Well, somewhere they tested a goat and a papaya fruit, turned em in, and they came back “positive”.
So yeah, one could probbly get the demoVirus twice, if needed. /s
