Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Hong Kong reports 'first case' of virus reinfection
How immune will we be after a vaccination? That remains to be seen in a
year or so as approved vaccines are going to be applied to a large number of individuals.
But how free will we be from the novel virus once recovered from an infection?
Antibodies are supposed to be developed once infected. And it was found that the
severer the case is, the stronger the antibodies become. However, there is a new
report by Hong Kong scientists about a case of reinfection to a man in his 30s
who had recovered from his first infection several months ago. No details have
been released and this is just one case out of 23 million confirmed cases of
coronavirus infection around the world. In fact, there are quite a few people
who get infected by different types of seasonal flu in the same season. So, while
medical experts warn not to jump on this report, it makes us worried about how we can
protect ourselves from coronavirus.
Read the article and think about how many masks you’ll need before the
pandemic ends.
