There were initial reports that it was being noticed in South Korea that people who had recovered from coronavirus had been re-infected, which was yet something else for the media to try and “spark fears” over:
South Korea reported Friday that almost 100 patients thought to have recovered from the new coronavirus had tested positive again, sparking fears that populations could become re-infected with COVID-19.

As it apparently turns out, there’s a different explanation for why people who had recovered from coronavirus had subsequently tested positive again:

Korea now seems to think the so-called "re-infections" it found are actually just false positives. A lot of smart epidemiologists thought this was likely the case all along, so not a huge surprise, but passing this along for people who freaked out earlier.https://t.co/C3iIjxDr7S

'A clinical expert panel on Wednesday also concluded that recovered coronavirus patients who later test positive for the virus again were not “reactivated” or reinfected, but were false positives.'https://t.co/dHtZ3AtcaH

That’s certainly a far more likely explanation!

Not that we fully expect the mainstream media to stop trying to panic people about it.
