4. Mild symptoms -- yeah a lot of people have mild symptoms. But a lot die. That's the fucking point.
3. Same virus, different sequence. It doesn't indicate there are two separate mutated strains, just that getting the virus doesn't prevent another bout.
2. This is "rare" because he's the first person sequenced. None of the other "reactivations" which are numerous have had the first and second "viruses" resequenced. Your unhighlighted parts admit that: "Doctors have reported several cases of presumed reinfection in the United States and elsewhere, but none of those cases have been confirmed with rigorous testing."

Many of the other "reactivations" had more serious bouts the second time around.
1. It is expected but that is why vaccines would have to be annually, or probably every three months. Or we could have locked it down for real to eliminate but Mah FreDumz. |
Is 'locked down to eliminate" realistic? Australia did a great job and was ready to reopen. Now Melbourne is under very strict lock-down. I just don't see an end that way.
As to reinfection, there are about 24 million cases so far Worldwide. If reinfection were going to be a real danger wouldn't there be no question by now, and thousands of reinfections?
