How common is that? I know there have been a few cases where it's believed to happen, but similarly there are some cases of people getting chicken pox more than once. With chickenpox, that's rare enough that chicken pox is generally considered something that you only get once, but it does happen.



The common cold is a coronavirus. There’s reason to believe immunity to this might last only a handful of months.


For chicken pox, it is not as rare as you might think. There are routine vaccinations for children and elderly alike.

I frankly would be unsurprised if an eventual covid vaccine is similarly administered to at-risk age groups, if not everyone.


That doesn't answer my question though. What does the data actually say about the covid reinfection rate? I've heard of anecdotes, but haven't seen any numbers.
