A man was infected with the coronavirus after recovering from an initial bout in April in what scientists said was the first case showing that reinfection may occur within a few months.

The 33-year-old's second SARS-CoV-2 infection was detected via airport screening on his return to Hong Kong from Europe this month. Researchers at the University of Hong Kong used genomic sequence analysis to prove that he had been infected by two different strains. The information technology worker didn't develop any symptoms from his second infection, which might indicate any "subsequent infections may be milder," the researchers said.

I'm guessing across the globe there will be some anecdotal things. Each human body is different and any individual might not fight it off.

But in general, it seems like it's very unlikely and even less likely to be anything severe the second time around. More data seems to suggest good news on this front than bad.

My guess (key word) is lingering. Even docs on this board sat that any viral infection can cause months of lingering symptoms

The title is "covid reinfection". If it was "man confirmed reinfected but asymptomatic" I may not have clicked.
