As expected, data emerges to explain observations of #COVID19 “reinfection”—here, most patients who were ”redetected positive” were actually never truly negative. Plus reinfection cannot be rampant if family members living together successively infect each other but all recover.

Good news. Rhesus macaques seem to be immune to re-challenge with SARS-CoV-2. This suggests that we are also immune once we clear the infection (serology in humans points in same direction). Not sure how long immunity lasts but likely for months or years. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
