Doesn't that literally have survival bias baked into it? The people that survived COVID-19 are going to be more fit as a population than the population that didn't have the deaths.

Even if they were, why would you assume this would be relevant to re-infection?

The vast majority of people testing positive for the virus are not dying from it.
