Not much scares me in this life. But just saw my first COVID reinfection this full moon Halloween & I am fucking shook.

20-something yo w/ massive PE, coded, TPA, ECMO in ED, hemorrhage, 3 code carts, methylene blue, PRBCs.

It doesn't. It's fear mongering.

How are these facts fear mongering? Unless you know the facts how can you possibly make a good working strategy to fight this pandemic?

Because we live in a world of several billion people and a tweet from a doctor about 1 case does not tell us much on an aggregate scale.

Thanks for clarifying, and I agree.

"Not much scares me ... fucking shock"

The language is literally fear mongering. It's not an objective anecdote.

IANAD:

Reinfected! and the reinfection becoming a bad case! No immunity... Article hints that you can expect to be relatively protected for up to 6mo after infection.. But there are no guarantees.

From the article: "There is still a lot for us learn before we have a full understanding of how immunity to COVID-19 works. (..) we all should still follow Government guidelines on social distancing to ensure we play our part in minimising the spread of COVID-19 within our communities." -Professor Paul Moss

The question was "Is this good or bad news?". Linking to a tweet reporting a single case of reinfection, without any context, does not answer it.

Sorry but you can't get COVID reinfection. You've been lied to. Please don't repost twitter comments to HN like this.
