I keep seeing this but they’re not giving much details

In the article they did say some of those people had mild symptoms.

We still don’t know if they were reinfected or never truly fully recovered. This virus can take a long time to build a viral load it seems so maybe their viral load dipped low enough to test negative but was high enough in their bodies to replicate and reinfect again.

It will be interesting to see what happens to these people. Their body should have antibodies in place to immediately identify and get rid of the new infection.
Nobody knows anything about this virus beyond how contagious it is, the second wave during the fall is going to fuk us good

Some promising studies coming out

Antibody study suggests coronavirus is far more widespread than previously thought

Covid-19 has infected up to 85 times more people in Santa Clara, California, than reported, study estimates - CNN

"We found that there are many, many unidentified cases of people having Covid infection that were never identified with it with a virus test," said Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and one of the paper's authors. "It's consistent with findings from around the world that this disease, this epidemic is further along than we thought."

The study estimated that 2.49% to 4.16% of people in Santa Clara Country had been infected with Covid-19 by April 1. This represents between 48,000 and 81,000 people, which is 50 to 85 times what county officials recorded by that date: 956 confirmed cases.

The research may also give a more realistic sense of how deadly the virus really is.

"If I get the infection, how likely is it I'm going to die? That number depends on knowing how many people have had the infection -- not just actively have it now, but have had it and recovered from it," Bhattacharya said.

If 50 times more people have had the infection, the death rate could drop by that same factor, putting it "somewhere between 'little worse than the flu' to 'twice as bad as the flu' in terms of case fatality rate," Bhattacharya said.
