I think "Likely" immunized and "no data YET SUPPORTING immunity" could very well be the same thing. Neither is saying immunized for sure.

Yes, I understood it to be the same thing...but thought it strange that if there's confirmed cases of reinfection, that Dr. Gupta would even suggest the possibility of immunity.

Iceland has isolated more than 40 different strains of the virus. At least one person there has tested positive with 2 different strains. This sucker is similar to the flu or common cold viruses in that it will mutate and produce new strains which the human population has no immunity, hence why we need to get a new flu shot every year for the strain-du-jor. People who have had the flu do not have immunity against all types of flu. Seems unlikely that this virus would be any different. The faster a virus spreads the faster it will mutate (yikes). The only way to stop it, is to stop it from spreading and mutating. The mutations and reinfections may explain why so many young, healthy, healthcare workers are dying in Italy or died in China; exposure to different strains while attending to patients infected with different strains.
All sorts of conflicting information out there:

We can definitely agree upon...THAT!!😖
