More Cases Of Coronavirus Reinfections Emerging Among Cured Patients In China Causing Concern

Medical experts and virologists are concerned about the high number of reinfections appearing in so called 'cured' or 'treated' coronavirus patients in China.

Cases of cured patients getting reinfected have emerged from Hubei and Sichuan provinces and have been documented by Chinese health authorities. To date about 72 such cases have been properly documented according to Chinese authorities.

Chinese physicians sounding the alarm on the coronavirus say the illness could be even deadlier for patients who catch it again.

“It’s highly possible to get infected a second time,” said one doctor.

The physician said that some of the antiviral medications used to treat the virus can have negative side effects on patients’ heart tissue, making them more susceptible to cardiac arrest.

So reinfection is a very real concern. It will be interesting to see how many times a person can be reinfected and if each subsequent infection of the virus increases in severity and or if it becomes more lethal each time.

So I guess to clarify I'm wondering is this a virus with a continuous progressive cycle of reinfection with a higher severity rate and CFR with each subsequent reinfection.
