This is scary but it seems that you maybe "lucky enough" to contract Covid-19 twice. Around WrestleMania time, WWE announced that someone who worked the event was later found to be Covid-19 positive. Now two and a half months later, that worker said she is positive for Covid again. As Kayla Braxton says in her tweet, "don't be dumb like me."
I'm curious if she actually got it twice or if she's relapsing. My money's on the latter.
For many people, covid isn't a month of being sick and then done. It's a month of being sick, a few weeks of feeling better, 2 weeks of gasping to breathe again, a day of feeling better, a week of feeling sick, 3 weeks of feeling better, hitting you like a dump truck for another 4 days... and on and on.
During this time, many test positive because the test picks up dead virus still in your system. The continued illness isn't understood yet, but is likely a combination of inflammation and your body going haywire.
This is nothing new. Around the first couple months, South Korea had many reports of people testing positive, appearing to get over the virus, then appearing to be sickened once again by the virus. This phenomena is not well enough understood to make any conclusions on what is happening. Is it possible the virus can hide in the body, remain dormant and resurge? That's what's being suggested but more research is needed to make any conclusions I would think.
"Testing positive" isn't enough. How bad was this particular person each time? I know I've sometimes had back to back colds and respiratory infections.

I'm wondering if she was asymptomatic and then got sick again. I'm not sure but she seems to think she actually did get it twice as per the tweet. What you mentioned about being sick with Covid-19 should hurt the existing Cares Act 14 day period for full pay if you are sick. After that it is 75% of pay. I also think we are only at the tip of the iceberg and there is a lot we do not know a lot about the virus even with all the medical breakthroughs from Polio in the 1950's, the AIDS pandemic, Ebola outbreak of 2014, etc.

Studies show that the antibodies disappear over a few months and thus make it more possible to catch it twice.
Saw a story a few days ago about how antibodies don't last very long if you had a mild case. Puts a big wrinkle in the herd immunity concept.
That it would. The biggest problem is the same as many issues, office chair QBs. Many people think they become "experts" by reading up on things. A lot of people say we should have gone with Sweden mainly because they did selective shutdowns. In reality, Sweden's economy did slowdown too and compared to other Norwegian countries, Sweden has higher case counts both in actual and per capita.

This.
The tests at this point, are pretty meaningless. They give off false positives and negatives. There was a story where a guy tested postive, then a few hours later, he tested negative.
Until the tests are more accurate, it's like ehhh.
