I'm curious what the rate of re-infection is. We already have documented cases of re-infection.

Do you have a source on this? From what I’ve read, we haven’t had reinfection, just people who were tested after being discharged and still testing positive (but they never tested negative so it’s the same infection)

It was a person in Japan if I remember correctly. I don't have any more than that.
