Scientists conclude people cannot get coronavirus twice

"Provisional Death Counts of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Pneumonia, or Influenza by week, United States. Week ending 2/1/2020 to 4/11/2020."
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/

1. what needs to be highlighted is there is a difference between 'reinfected' and 'reactivated'
reactivated is the virus attacking the body. but then also laying dormant to attack it again while patient is recovering(2 hits in small time period)

this is not the case. covid does not reactivate.
however when it comes to the antibodies. its still unsure how long antibodies remain programmed to fight it off in future. meaning antibodies can forget about covid after a few months or a year or 5 years. meaning if someone gets it the antibody wont know what to do again and will go into high immuno response of causing distress.
scientists just dont know how long immunity lasts

2. though numbers need updating. the most compelling i the week ending 4th of april which shows ~8k JUST COVID(u07.1 alone) which when checking worldometer's numbers for that week. it tallies
as does the weeks prior
week ending 11th april still need to collate data
which also funnily enough wipes out all the conspiracy theories of 'all deaths are covid' as those numbers are separate and still existant
