📍BREAKING—First ever reinfection death from #COVID19 has now been scientifically confirmed. An 89-year old woman infected 2 months ago; recovered. New reinfection by different strain (🧬verified), then led to death.
➡️ Total now up to 23 reinfections. bnonews.com/index.php/2020…

2) “An elderly woman in the Netherlands has died after getting COVID-19 a second time, researchers reported on Monday. It’s the first time a death has been reported from reinfection with coronavirus. The researchers said the woman arrived at ER earlier this year...”
3) “while suffering from a fever and severe cough. She tested positive for coronavirus and remained hospitalized for 5 days, after which her symptoms subsided completely, except for persisting fatigue.
Nearly 2 months later, she developed a fever, cough, and shortness of breath”

4) “When she was admitted to hospital, her oxygen saturation was 90 percent with a respiratory rate of 40 breaths per minute. She again tested positive for coronavirus while tests for antibodies were negative at days 4 and 5.”
5) ““At day 8, the condition of the patient deteriorated. She died two weeks later,”
To team had access to test samples from both infections and confirmed that the genetic makeup of each virus was different to a degree which cannot be explained through in-vivo evolution.”

6) 📌This supports the finding that the woman was suffering from a reinfection with coronavirus.📌
7) Troubling—official @BNODesk reinfection tracker of confirmed REINFECTIONS (scientifically documented by RNA 🧬 comparisons) now has recorded 23 reinfections. Of 17 w/ known clinical status, 📌9 of 17 (53%) had a worse 2nd infection than first. #COVID19 bnonews.com/index.php/2020…
8) Meanwhile, the earlier 2nd case of reinfection from Reno Nevada now finally Lancet published. Study confirms first case of #COVID19 reinfection in the USA, indicating exposure to the virus may not translate to total immunity. thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
9) The authors conclude: “These findings suggest that the patient was infected by SARS-CoV-2 on two separate occasions by a genetically distinct virus. Thus, previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2 might not guarantee total immunity in all cases.”
10) “All individuals, whether previously diagnosed with COVID-19 or not, should take identical precautions to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2” ...

11) Also, vaccine implication being debated. One author says reinfection could affect vaccine, another immunologist @VirusesImmunity says no. In fact, vaccine would protect better than even an actual prior #COVID19 infection would.
