@joshua Honest answer: nobody freakin' knows. D:

There have been scary recent cases of people in Wuhan who had previously covered from COVID but are now testing positive again.

However, it's probably not reason to panic *yet*. Most virologists seem to think it would be REALLY weird for a coronavirus's immunity to wear off that fast, so the leading theory is that it's some kind of flaw in the test accuracy.

They haven't ruled it out completely, but it would apparently be REALLY weird and scary if you could get it again in less than - I'm spitballing from memory here - like two years or longer.
