Throughout this beep pandemic, a key question has been whether you can get Covid-19 coronavirus more than once. Well, last week, several other reports seemed to launch the “can.” And now there’s a report that a 25-year-old boy in Reno, Nevada, has been reinfected, which adds to the can-can dance. Oh, by the way, the news worse at the moment.
The week began with the news of the reinfection of a 33-year-old Hong Kong boy. While Sarah Hansen was covering Forbes on August 24, this type had first experienced mild covid-19 symptoms in March, tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV2) coronavirus 2, and then 4 and a half months. he later tested positive for SARS-CoV2. At the moment, it showed no symptoms, however, genetic sequencing revealed that the virus was a different edition of SARS-CoV2. This warned that he had two different infections.
What made this case different from previous reports of imaginable reinfection was the genetic evidence that the viruses in the two episodes of Covid-19 coronavirus infection were others. Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have not yet officially published the case report in a peer-reviewed journal (although it is said to be a prior publication in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases) or published the data. So everyone had to take the effects with a can of salt.
Here is a report from today’s exhibition on this case:
Then, on 25 August, Carlie Porterfield informed Forbes of at least two or even 3 more cases of reinfection in Belgium and the Netherlands. Since those were stories, they were more like salt cans, and even more, Array would potentially fill the closet with evidence, though.
As they said in the tv series Teen Wolf, one is an accident, two is a coincidence, 3 is a trend and 4 is enough for a court order. What’s five? Well, it’s more than 4 rhymes with hive, because does it raise a lot of questions when looking to expand a Covid-19 vaccine and the pandemic?
A preprint for The Lancet marks the newest in can-can dance. Again, a prepress is not the same as a peer-reviewed clinical journal article. The case report has not yet passed through the eyes of competent experts, who will criticise the report. Someone who shows you a prepress would be like showing you a script for Avengers: End Game, The Musical. There’s no guarantee you’ll see Thanos and Thor doing a song “Should Have Gone for the Head” as a duet, and there’s no guarantee that a previous drawing will succeed at the big time and eventually be released. However, if this case report were officially successful on the pages of The Lancet, it would be the first documented case of reinfection in the United States.
Authored by a team from the University of Nevada, Reno, School of Medicine, the Nevada Center for Bioinformatics, the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory, and other organization, the case report described a saga that started on March 25, 2020, when the resident of Reno, Nevada, began having symptoms of a viral illness. Eventually, these symptoms included a sore throat, cough, headache, nausea, and diarrhea. Of course, normally, diarrhea in Reno could mean many different possible things. However, nowadays, you’ve got to wonder whether you have Covid-19. Indeed, a test for SARS-CoV-2 on April 18 came back positive, not in a good way but positive for the virus. That meant that he had to go into isolation. His symptoms finally resolved on April 27.
This gave the impression of being the end of his first Covid-1nine case as he had two subsequent negative tests for SARS-CoV-2 RNA on 9 and 26 May. All fishing (meaning well and not contaminated with Salmonella) until May 28, when it returned to symptoms such as fever, headache, dizziness, cough, nausea and diarrhea. This caused another stopover at the doctor on May 31. There he had a chest x-ray, which proved negative, before returning home.
Things got worse on June 5, when the worsening symptoms convinced him to go to the doctor in his circle of relatives. The doctor discovered that the oxygen levels in the patient’s blood were too low and sent him to the emergency room (ER). In the emergency room, doctors gave him oxygen, checked him for SARS-CoV2, and admitted him to the hospital. A repeated chest x-ray showed that, in the meantime, he had developed new substance plaques in any of the lungs. Of course, this is not a medical term. These effects advised him to have pneumonia. And behold, the SARS-CoV2 check turned out to be positive. The next day, June 6, a blood antibody test (IgG/IgM) for SARS-CoV-2 also tested positive.
Then, basically, a young man had an episode of Covid-19, recovered and then, 48 days later, he had the impression of being a one-time episode of Covid-19. Was it just a prolonged infection? In other words, did the episode of the moment resemble a later component of the film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo or was it like Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, a worst sequel to an original evil? The nucleic acid sequencing of virus samples from the other two episodes of Covid-19 revealed significant differences in their genomes. Essentially, the virus from a past infection had other mutations elsewhere in the virus at the time of infection.
This tweet by Akiko Iwasaki, PhD, Waldemar Von Zedtwitz, Professor of Immunobiology and Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale School of Medicine, his opinion on the effects of genetic sequencing:
The team conducted tests to verify that these effects were not due to the software used or to the mishandling or labelling of the samples. In addition, it should be noted that the patient’s immune formula gave the impression of being normal. He was not taking any medications and had no physical fitness disorders that could weaken his immune formula.
A key difference with this case compared to the Hong Kong and Belgium cases is that the Nevada guy suffered a supposedly worse episode of Covid-19 at the time. This warned that his first immune reaction had not literally protected him. Would the immune reaction to the first infection really have affected the effect on the infection at the moment? Potentializing means expanding the strength of, because this slice of avocado has increased my ability to pass the tenth Zoom call of the day. For some infections and diseases like dengue, after having inflamed once with a strain of the virus, you may actually actually have a worse disease when it subsequently inflames with some other strain of the virus. Although the reasons are not yet entirely clear, one theory is that its immune formula recognizes the tension of the moment but not well enough to respond well and, consequently, may overreact. This can also be a bit like a user who has a bad appointment, distrusts appointments accordingly, enters a time of appointments and then overreacts to something similar to the time of appointments due to increased suspicion.
In general, there is evidence in development that reinfection with Covid-19 coronavirus is possible. However, don’t press the panic button yet. In general, if you see a button called Panic, don’t press it. In addition, some cases do not necessarily mean that reinfection is common. As you can see in Reno’s casinos, reports of rare occasions don’t mean it will happen to you. The possibilities are important and it is unclear how reinfection could occur. As I wrote in the past for Forbes, additional studies are needed to determine if there is immunity opposite to Covid-19 coronavirus and how long it could last. It is also not known whether the herbal infection would be different from vaccination and whether it would offer other degrees and types of protection. Even if reinfection can occur, researchers want to find out what it can look like. After all, it’s not because you can.
