So, after those three months can we be reinfected, or will the phenomenon of recrudescence take place?
The best answer at this point is we don’t know. But if look at the spectrum of infectious diseases the answer is probably yes.

It’s going to be interesting to watch it play out. I so hope they will be able to develop a vaccine. I agree that would be preferable. But it may end up like you said being some thing where some infected people need to take chronic antivirals.
