Before the fear and scare mongers jump on the bandwagon and say they've heard that you can, or read that you can, read the whole article.

 

“I haven’t heard of a case where it’s been truly, unambiguously demonstrated,” said Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

 

It may be possible for the coronavirus to strike the same person twice, but it’s highly unlikely that it would do so in such a short window or make people sicker the second time, they said. What’s more likely is that some people have a drawn-out course of infection, with the virus taking a slow toll weeks to months after their initial exposure.

Good article on the bbc website about t cells helping in the cause.  From various articles I have read, up to 80% of people have t cells that make getting corona virus no worse than a cold.  Feel free to look it up.  T cells also ensure getting infected a second time is a quite rare feat, if it's possible at all.

Possible--but unlikely...........That's the usual definite answer you get from our experts before they pick their large retainer
