China has discovered that roughly 14% of patients who recover from coronavirus test positive for the killer disease again – with the mechanism behind the virus' apparent ability to re-infect a complete mystery.
This comes after Japan reported that a female tour-bus guide aged in her 40s had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus for a second time in Osaka.
Normally, when you overcome a virus you gain immunity for a while afterwards which is why it is so rare for children to get chickenpox twice. ...

Sounds like we need to quarantine for at least a week after recovery and retest.
Didn’t we have reports earlier that those re-infected were dying of heart attacks?
What are the odds it has mutated so there is more than one strain?
Media banging the mem drum and performing their role in stirring unrest and panic
How predictable, and it is across the board as they all fan the flames and some still act as if they are telling the truth
Propoganda ministry nothing else, whatever sells they provide
What next, they turn into the Walking Dead and threaten our cities?
It wasn’t a complete recovery.
A complete mystery unless you believe it was developed as a bioweapon, where you’d want it to do that.
Yes.
Buy wooden baseball bats and barbed wire.
Meme, not mem
The Media across the board is owned by a small number of companies who work in collusion to spread the message
Like dogs returning to their own vomit
I’m waiting for zombies to devour us and for the end of the world.
It can also mean they - that 14% - have developed resistance to the bug making them ill, with their own immune system keeping the remainder of the bug at bay. That 14% would be good to study for ways to combat the bug after infection.
Where did you come up with a “week”? I watched the video at the link and read the article. I did not see a time span mentioned.
Seems likely.
Really?
I know more than a couple of people who got the flu more than once in the flu season.
And that when only one strain going around.
Very bad news as either the virus is mutating fast or infection and recovery does not provide immunity to subsequent exposure.
You left this part out (from the article):
A positive test means the “recovered” patients may still be carrying the virus, straitstimes.com reports.
Yeah, it was an excerpt.
(1) We've heard there's a "2%" mortality rate with coronavirus compared to below 1% for regular flu.
I strongly suspect the actual % of deaths to infections for Coronavirus is MUCH lower. Commie countries are notorious for fabricating data and false numbers. I don't think they have a handle on the number of people with infections - most of them mild, not "deadly."
(2) Prices for supplies imported from China are actual data we can use, to verify what is happening. If we see prices rising dramatically over the next few months - that will confirm it is really deadly, not just widespread sniffles.
(3) The hysteria about this Virus, to date, seems mostly a bunch of last gasp, "RUSSIA"! type spin from the 'Rats as their non-serious POTUS "candidates" circle the drain......
It almost seems this virus like Lyme disease, might involve having some sleeper cells that lie dormant for months after original infection. Becoming active sometimes after the patient is cured, and reinfection starts again. - Tom
