Summary
These new reinfections provide important new data as experts rush to figure that out.Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, Waldemar Von Zedtwitz professor in the Department of Immunobiology at Yale University, wrote on Twitter that this patient's case was different from the Hong Kong patient because his prior infection didn't seem to help him fight off the virus."This time, unlike the case in Hong Kong, the immune system did not protect this person from reinfection or disease," her tweet read.However, scientists interviewed by ABC News say these isolated case reports can't be applied to the average person.
