    BREAKING NEWS: Nevada man, 25, becomes the first known case in the US of coronavirus reinfection
    • Researchers have identified the first case of a US patient reinfected with the novel coronavirus
    • A 25-year-old man from Reno, Nevada, first tested positive in April after developing a mild illness
    • In May, he fell sick again, but this time developed more severe symptoms of COVID-19
    • Earlier this week, a man in Hong Kong and two European patients were also reported to be reinfected with the virus
    Researchers have identified the first case of an American patient who was reinfected with the novel coronavirus.

    According to the report, the unnamed 25-year-old man, from Reno, Nevada, tested positive in April after showing mild illness.

    He got sick again in late May and developed more severe COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.

    'This study likely represents a clear example of reinfection...reinfections are possible - which we already knew, because immunity is never 100 percent,' Dr Kristian Anderson, professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California told Reuters.

    During the first illness, the individual had symptoms including a sore throat, nausea, headache and diarrhea, according to the pre-print study.

    He tested positive on April 18. His symptoms resolved by April 28 and he received two two negative tests on May 9.

    Just a few weeks later, on May 31, the man reported symptoms including all the symptoms he had before as well as a fever and feeling dizzy.

    Five days later, the patient's condition worsened so much that he was hospitalized, and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

    Bloodwork run by hospital staff showed that the man had antibodies against the virus.

    A team at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine and the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory said they were able to show through sophisticated testing that the virus associated with each instance of the Reno man's infection represented genetically different strains.

    This was predicted by many experts. And it further demonstrates how and why developing a vaccine is very difficult and why the first vaccine available might not be the best vaccine.

    It also shows why herd immunity might not be a achievable.

    Trump supporters have achieved herd immunity. They are not and will not be affected by logic-19, logic-20 or any other logic that the radical left is trying to foist upon them.

    Like most things about this virus, it’s complicated:

    Terribly sad, but I don't think that there's any connection between that death and herd immunity. Or am I missing something?

    Pandemics and politics don't mix well. Pandemics and idiot politicians mix even worse.

    But it's all worth while because they've got a winning football team. The rest doesn't matter.
    By the way, I've got a cousin who got her PhD there and immediately got the hell out of Dodge. She now is a professor at Princeton where her husband who also got his PhD at the University of Football, aka University of Alabama and also is a professor at Princeton. If you're really good intellectually in the deep South you either move to Atlanta or get out of the South. My father nearly flunked out of a rural Alabama high school, went into the Army in WWII, learned to read novels and moved to Oswego, Oregon. Why? Because he wasn't stupid.

    I spent time at Ft. McClellan in Anniston while in the Army. Not very fond memories.
