Trying to get some stuff straight. - There are 200 types of common cold viruses. - 10-40% colds are caused by rhinoviruses, 160 human types = mostly spring/summer colds - 20% caused by 4 human types of coronaviruses, more winter colds - 20% RSV (1 virus, hits kids more)

Immunity lasts for a few months (like other coronaviruses) -> known to cause long term lung / heart / neural damage currently -> current social distancing measures in place -> 6-8 months for next reinfection -> more vulnerable given damage taken -> therapeutics one shot only
-
Repeat ad infinitum - imagine a common cold that hit you harder and harder in shorter time frames - it’s like the flu getting deadlier as you age except this makes you age

And one of my brother's colleagues (doctors) got it twice, both confirmed. And a study in Israel found dozens of reinfections. Key word is dozens, among tens of millions of confirmed cases, among tens of thousands of regularly tested and exposed doctors. It's basically noise.

Dozens today - six months in. Think 18 months in.
