A member asked:
Does anyone know if you can get sick again from coronavirus, is this like a flu and would it be as bad everytime?

Unknown: There have been several reports of people getting reinfected but it is unsure if they really got over the first infection. It is still too early to know. You can keep getting influenza because the virus mutates and so your body does not have any immunity to it.
