Good news but a deceiving headline, imo.A total of 277 patients in the country were believed to have fallen ill for a second time, as had patients in China and Japan.
This prompted concerns that the virus could be mutating so quickly that people were not necessarily immune to catching it again.
However, genetic analyses of the virus have not found any substantial changes which would effectively disguise it from the immune system.
The only conclusion is about mutation rate of the virus. Nothing about actual immune response.

Right. Think this seems pretty obvious.

Reminder that the WHO was telling us in January there was no evidence of human-to-human transmission. This disease was already everywhere by January.
