But... we did get infected with coronaviruses (the OC43 and friends) and other common cold viruses over and over again. The reinfection rate of ~15% for SARS-COV-2 is comparable to those

It would have been better if reinfection was described as "you'll test positive again, but it will be milder". Instead the media was full of articles saying "immunity lasts only 6 months"

“There is just so much we don’t understand about this virus”.

Yeah. No. It’s a respiratory virus that is pretty nasty in really old people but not so much in anybody else.
