I recall reading once a long time ago that there were some 300 different "colds". Once you have a particular one you won't get it again. However, you will get a different one. Not sure if that is still thought to be true. However, I have read Corvid-19 that came to the US from Europe, which is what NY has, is slightly different from the Corvid-19 that came directly from China. So obviously it is evolving. Anyway, it may be the reason for re-infections. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov

Still unclear: whether a hastily-sent Bulletin, Do Not USE Part III would have saved a whole MONTH. ie, the exponential-growing of the RNA/DNA conversion process seemed to be: extra info on expected variants; nice but not Al-Punte. (Yet..)

Yes, but with her we had a chance. We haven't beaten a virus yet. - (mmoffitt) - (10) - April 17, 2020, 08:57:18 AM EDT

But at least you're not resorting to hyperbole. - (pwhysall) - (9) - April 17, 2020, 09:56:59 AM EDT

I hope you're right. But 140+ "re-infections" is not promising for a vaccine. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (8) - April 17, 2020, 12:19:39 PM EDT
