People who have had severe COVID-19 and worry about going through another bout of it can relax: New research finds that less than 1% of people who’ve had a severe coronavirus infection get re-infected.
For the study, University of Missouri researchers analyzed data from more than 9,100 COVID-19 patients at 62 health facilities in the United States.
Only 0.7% of patients with severe COVID-19 infection contracted the virus a second time, with a mean re-infection period of 116 days. Of those who were re-infected, 3.2% died.
Non-white patients had a higher risk of re-infection than white patients, according to the study published recently in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

“Of those who were re-infected, 3.2% died.” This is a crazy number. Why would there be a higher fatality rate for those reinfected then for first time Covid patients? Could it be that its because it is using the subset of only ‘people who’ve had severe COVID’? Is it that some people have a tendency, for as of yet unknown reasons for getting severe cases in which case the reinfection fatality rate is then actually much much lower that first time infection from those same people.
