I'm wondering if you get it once are you then immune from it or can you get it again?


@MalteseMomma,  if this virus follows pattern you will be immune from getting the same strain again.  That goes with the caveat that currently there are two known strains of the covid-19 virus in circulation.

 

Another thing to keep in mind is that at this time, to my knowledge, it has not been determined if covid-19 is one of the viruses that can go dormant (sometimes for years) in your body post infection then come back again.  Measles, HIV and shingles are just three examples.  Another example is post-polio syndrome.

This is under study. The answer is still unknown. My answer comes from multiple officials, such as Dr. Fauci.

Maybe I should start drinking lots of tonic water because that contains quinine which is the mother drug of all anti-malarials.

@SilleeMee  but if you have enough you don't care.

Chloroquine was mentioned as a treatment in the daily news conference today.

Yes I think there may be more than one being tested.  I'm also glad to hear from FDA that doctors can use the medicines on a compassionate use basis as well before testing is completed.

My husband told me about it.  It's been around for many years and has been used for malaria (which one reason folks in the U.S. have not herd of it)  There are some side affects, but at least death is not one of them.  Headaches, hair loss, rash and loss of appetite.  Side effects can't be too severe, because is still in use today.
