My son and his wife are nurses in a prison. Just about everyone there has had covid.

They do not have one reinfection so far. It burned through their prison months ago.

Don't let people scare you with reinfection.

Think about if reinfection was that common would a vaccine add value?

I think reinfection is rare but I know a guy that was not sick and tested positive I think through a work related thing and then later tested positive again several months later when he went to a hospital to have a procedure done.

He was not sick either time and they were several months apart. I think he had one or two false positives and he might still be susceptible to the virus if he's never truly had it.

wasn't it Marcus Aurelius that said he had three patients that had had it multiple times?

That was a misunderstanding. Marcus was saying that his hospital had gone through three waves of infection, not that he had three patients who were infected three times.

Way more likely of multiple false positives than reinfection. Especially when no symptoms.

I've only had one patient who has had it twice. Once in July and then again in November. We rechecked her rapid antigen test with a PCR test and both were positive. She has a chronic borderline neutropenia (low white blood cell levels) which may hamper her ability to build a lasting immune response. At least that is our hypothesis. On the positive side, neither of her infections required hospitalization despite the fact that she is over 80 years old.

Our initial analysis of titer and antibodies in convalescent plasma donors has shown little to no decrease in their titer over the course of subsequent donations.
