Coronavirus: Scientists conclude people cannot
be infected twice.



Scientists in South Korea say coronavirus
patients cannot relapse.

A number of reported cases of coronavirus
patients relapsing after overcoming the disease
were actually due to testing failures, South
Korean scientists say.

Researchers at the South Korean centre for
disease control and prevention (CDC) now say it
is impossible for the COVID-19 virus to reactivate
in human bodies.

There have been more than 10,000 confirmed
coronavirus cases in South Korea, with 245
deaths - a 2.3% fatality rate, which is lower than
the 3.4% average as stated by the World Health
Organisation.

A total of 277 patients in the country were
believed to have fallen ill for a second time, as
had patients in China and Japan.
This prompted concerns that the virus could be
mutating so quickly that people were not
necessarily immune to catching it again.

However, genetic analyses of the virus have not
found any substantial changes which would
effectively disguise it from the immune system.

Sincerely, I still believe one can be infected twice but what do I know? As you said, let's just hope they're telling the truth.
