Coronavirus: Can One Person Contract The Virus Twice? by Nobody: 4:00pm On Mar 29, 2020
I was just wondering, if a person, having been treated of the virus, contracts the same virus again. Is it possible?

Yes

no. After recovery your body will develop antibodies against the virus and you will be immune for life.
It’s like Measles and chickenpox. If you had them when you were small, you can’t get them again
Re infection is very unlikely

Yes
Once you're fully recovered, antibody against the virus will pile up in your body and will successfully attack and neutralize the virus upon subsequent exposure

It depends on the person immune system

But generally immunity is developed after treatment but scientists don't know how long the immunity last

Reinfection is unlikely

this means that people who initially recovered are more likely to relapse rather than get reinfected with the virus.

If, for example, there is a vaccine that cures aids, would it be the cases?

Wow, see how bold and confident you are in spreading false information abt a virus u knew nothing about.
Report coming for China "Wuhan " shows that some persons that recovered from the virus then tested negative, now starting showing new symptoms and are retested to positive.

you think you know something? You’re a mumu man.
You had the effrontery to quote my message with “info” from a news?! Ozwor
Am telling you science and immunology. Go and finish that china story! Those persons will likely have problems with their immunity.
Do you even know the reason why you can never suffer from Small pox, Measles, or chicken pox twice
