    Ooh, fun - it sounds like the various muted forms of sars-cov-2 across the world are genetically fairly distinct, so we can catch two different types on the trot!

    https://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2020/0…

    Also implies that herd immunity and vaccines might not be quite so useful endgames. Joy!

    . o O ( I wonder if that means you can catch two at the same time? what fun!)

    Might not be absolute - seems like this is the first verifiable instance and even then it's not 100% AND spreads across two domains of Sars-2, but still.

    • meh, still full of "may"s ,"might"s & "possibly"shans_glib
    • "perhaps importantly, no antibodies were found during the first infection"kingsteven
    • first infection was in march when testing was shit, asymptomatic. either fought off with t-cells or a false positive test. second time a higher viral load andkingsteven
    • mild symptoms - now has antibodies (that will most-likely be effective for other strains)kingsteven
    • more anecdata for reinfections - https://www.dailymai…Phrenological
    • Heh, if it's not about Diana's ghost I'm not clicking that link bad enough reading about covid on gizmodo :Dkingsteven
    • Aye, sorry! Gizmodo (et al) and TechCrunch are two sites I can't stand using on the web :) (A shame, I used to love Gizmodo years back)Nairn
    • Heh tbh i'm trying to avoid all the reporting on it. The covid19 reddit and an ocassional a glimpse at the local stats is enough to keep me in the house :)kingsteven
    • ha, likewise - if i see anything of genuine novel interest (like I thought I had here) I'll give it a go. Otherwise, head in the sand.Nairn
    • My wee one learnt to turn on the radio, which I set to classical FM. Every morning I'd end up listening to COVIDPANIC Media News and Gov't ads. Depressing.Nairn
