What's in question is the immunity conferred. Is any? What is strange to me is the way they think that two weeks will do it. Then you are free to go out and get infected. The two weeks may prove you are clean, but I think each and every time you go out you earn another two weeks in quarantine.

Doctors don't seem to be testing for immunity. Are they? Now, I want to know what they are seeing. Anything? No one is telling us enough.

They also are not talking about the two different strains they have discovered. Is this responsible for the relapses? It would make sense, but damned scary if both are in the same environment at the same time. Can they both infect you at once?

We want to know, and not just be managed for our compliance.
