I bet most of the posters in this thread who read scientific journals to learn about the novel coronavirus feel the same frustration I do educating the average friend or family member who only reads the headlines. It’s downright irresponsible the shit that gets put out there and is never corrected with the same eye popping headlines. Zero chance Donger has read any of the studies and still throws out the herd immunity comment. For those sailors to have been completely “recovered” at the cellular level and then to “catch” it again goes against everything know to viral science. There’s a mountain of evidence that’s says this novel coronavirus hangs out for weeks and some patients relapse. Also a mountain of evidence the tests provide insufficient accuracy to draw conclusions of reinfection vs relapse. Two week time period in this article is truly laughable. 8 weeks and I’d still guess they were relapsing, or even more likely detecting dead viral rna.
