Do you think recovered covid patients should be allowed to dine out and go to bars?

This would accelerate the rate of mutation of the virus (by providing spreading opportunities for variants that can reinfect those who developed immunity to the mainstream variant)

The more socially-active immune people get reexposed to the virus the higher the chance someone will happen to catch (and propagate) a variant that can reinfect them
-
as far as reinfections seem far more likely than initially thought.

and that is obviously way more important than giving people the smallest shred of light and businesses hope. keep everyone in prison indefinitely!

Never thought about that. Most of the people I know that have been tested positive think that once they passed it, they have immunity for months. They have been told (or read online) that the probability of reinfection is overall very low.
-
It is.

Would not that apply to vaccines as well, in theory?

I guess the idea is that there will be fewer people to get infected from, once a whole lot have been vaccinated. That’s the difference between immune folks exposing themselves now versus when cases are lower later.

Any data behind this claim? This is basically saying everyone needs to isolate and distance forever..

I think it is a valid concern, but would be interesting to hear actual expert opinions. It depends highly on the existence of such variants. My hope would be that we have vaccines by March-April, so it would need to mutate very fast to catch up.

Likewise the more you suppress, the more chances you are giving to the most infectious. It is called an evolutionary bottleneck. So in a sense, you are selecting the worst variant through behavioral dynamics. An interesting part of biology is it defies common sense.
