Japanese man tests positive for coronavirus again

Right. If our immune system didn't get better at fighting something, you would remain infected forever or die from it. Reference HIV as an example of a virus our immune system could not fight.

If anyone is getting better (and 98%+ of people are) it's because the immune system can effectively fight it.

Wow, I didn’t even think of it like that. That’s a great way to reason about it that makes it immediately clear. Thanks!

Or it could go dormant, like the herpes virus.
