So uh I don't know if this is good news or not. If they get reinfected and aren't contagious, does that mean they have to fight the disease again or is it just a case that they have it and it does nothing now?

our bodies develop antibodies to foreign agents like viruses for a while. But eventually they go away after no exposure.

so its likely they have the virus but their immune response is programmed to eliminate it fast enough where its not as serious as someone who had zero contact before.

and it not being contagious is possible because their bodies are eliminating it faster than it can spread.

Thanks for the knowledge.

For some reason to me that sounds sarcastic, but it's sincere. That was a genuine thanks.

Is it possible that this shit just lives inside you forever like chicken pox/shingles?

It is. I don't think we have much data/studies on if it does or not though
