GREENSBORO, N.C. For the first time, we re getting reports of people here in North Carolina possibly being reinfected with coronavirus. We have reported cases confirmed elsewhere. That means they had it once and test positive again months later.
Health experts said if a lot of people can be reinfected, that means you re not immune forever after getting the virus, the vaccine might have trouble working in the long run, and most importantly, this horror show could drag on much longer. But we re not there yet. Right now, it s still pretty rare and in the early stages of scientific review.
