I've Been Thinking:

On Wednesday, the highly respected medical journal Lancet published a very important peer reviewed article about re-infection from COVID.
The research was done in Denmark.

This research challenges the conventional wisdom that you cannot get COVID twice. The Denmark study puts numbers to the possibility of reinfection and to its risks.

The study divides people into two groups, those below 65 years of age and those older than 65.

If you are under 65, you have an 80% chance of recovery from a second COVID infection. If you are 65 or older, you only have a 47% chance of recovery if you contract COVID a second time.

The study explains that contracting COVID a second time is extremely uncommon.
They explain that new variants need to be studied. And they suggest that the new variants might be a reason for contracting COVD a second time.

Importantly, the study asserts that, should you contract COVID a second time, and if you are over 65 years old, it could very well be life threatening.
