(In the case of my kids, the reinfection, at least so far, does not seem as serious as the first bout was, but it is still bad-- with my daughter-in-law completely losing her sense of taste and smell.)
I know they can be reinfected. I told them that, too. But, they won't get it from me, regardless of what some insist. Life is full of dangers. Some of us just refuse to allow those dangers to stop us from living.
"The NHTSA reports that 13 cars out of every 100,000 are involved in a fatal accident, but motorcycles have a fatality rate of 72 per 100,000." However, there are many more fatalities by cars than motorcycles. Even though motorcycling is more dangerous than operating a car, there are dangers to both. Smoking can cause death, but so can drinking too much water in a short period.
Just pointing out that folks take chances every day. Some eat too much, some drink too much and some cross the street against the light. If you don't wish to get struck by lightening, stay home in your basement when there is a threat of a storm. If you do not wish to become infected, stay home in your basement during a "pandemic."
