He said he's been in isolation for over 40 days and was in the hospital prior to that. That's a VERY long time. I hope that when he's past this and tests negative, that the people around him, such as neighbors, are nice to him. That is apparently not happening for everyone in the US. Reports of US passengers, who were on the first cruise ship, that are testing negative have reported being treated terribly -- as if they purposely exposed themselves and are actively trying to infect others.

I'm assuming the idiot who thinks it's like HIV, means you carry antibodies forever just like you do for every viral infection you've ever had.

@braedenhindes5694 I have read up to 14% of people are now getting re-infected-- first testing positive, then testing negative and positive a short time later. It's not known which people who have gone through it are susceptible to re-infection simply because there's no sure way to know which of those who've tested positive then negative have actually been re-exposed to it. Because people build anti-bodies to the viruses that they've had, there's also the theory that it may be a slightly different strain "re-infecting" people.

@csick11 Every single cold you've ever had has each been caused by a different virus. The reason they feel like the same cold repeating itself, is due to your body's immune system reacting to most cold viruses in the same manner, ie, you get a stuffy nose with most of them but along with swollen nasal/sinus passages, that's just your body's way of trying to collect infected cells to get them out of your system; your body heats itself (aka fever) in an attempt to kill the infected cells, etc. You can have the exact same bacterial infection, but not the exact same viral infection.

@csick11 Every year the influenza shot is for a different strain of the virus as every year a new strain emerges. That's why last year's flu shot will not protect you against next year's dominant flu strain.
