COVID-19 Natural Immunity

The truth is...

If you become infected with the COVID-19 virus and don't recover, you are 11 times less likely to become reinfected.

@Pat wait, what? If you catch COVID and don't recover, doesn't that mean you stay sick until you die? Hard to see how you have any chance to catch it again after that.

@khird @Pat Wanted to say the same. It made no sense to me either.

isn't supposed to make sense, that's the point. (or sometimes they make sense when they sound like they shouldn't)

I keep hearing people talk about natural immunity and cite studies, but the studies exclude people who get COVID-19 and don't recover, they only count the people who recover, so the results are biased toward those who had a healthy-enough immune system to fight it off in the first place.

The point is to let all those folks out there who think that getting COVID-19 is good for their immune system, to think about what they are risking.
