re: Dutch woman becomes first known death from a COVID-19 reinfection

Most of the research, shows reinfection within 90 days is rare thus the CDC recommendation that people do not retest unless they have symptoms. Serious illness in these reinfections is also rare within that subgroup. Possibility of reinfection increases after 90 days, but again serious illness is rare. This is possibly why infection rates are growing in Europe, but with much lower hospitalization and mortality rates than in the Spring.
Pfizer and Modena's vaccines, which have been the most successful in trials so far, target the spike protein which potentially will make these vaccines more effective against different strains of the virus.

Was this guy part of TMA test for virus done in Nevada? Tested twice between having symptoms including a TMA which at least one test seems to claim is more sensitive but not exactly normal follow up and then second 2 days before symptoms started second time.
Having hard time reading on my phone, but from above he was only tested for antibodies after 2nd infection. That antibodies might not always be made has been known, and though not as prevalent as today antibody tests were around in May when he was getting tested without symptoms. It would be bigger deal if he was positive for antibodies before second time.
Edit:
When closing page I saw below:

A major limitation of our case study is that we were unable to undertake any assessment of the immune response to the first episode of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We also could not assess fully the effectiveness of the immune responses (eg, neutralising antibody titres) during the second episode, when the individual was antibody-positive for total antibody assay to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein.

There have been 38,000,000 documented cases of corona over the last 10 months and only 4 documented cases of reinfection.
If reinfection was a big deal we would have thousands of reinfections.

Well you are actually pretty right in your logic. It is probably like the flu though where we could come up with yearly vaccines for those at risk. I hate the media fear porn that has ruined millions of lives.

As you noted they discussed the limitations of the study but if it was a continuous infection the mutation rate would be much higher than recorded previously. Just another set of data in a large picture.
In the end, there is so much unknown about the virus. Given the evidence I have seen so far I think therapeutics are going to be the answer versus a vacinne.
