Hmmm. I think the denial phase is over soon.
I know a missionary priest who came down with malaria over ten years ago in south Africa. He can’t donate blood because of this. It’s in his system permanently but he’s not sick.
They dont know if its just residue. Also if in any case you get reinfected it should be with lesser symptoms.
What if they're false-positive?
The bad thing is, it gets you sick when your immune system weakens for other reason (bad sleep, age, bad nutrition)
In toher words: it is lurking in your system, waiting for you to get weak, and then emerges again,
like the herpes virus,
chronic hepatitis B or
tuberculosis for example.

PCR on influenza is a 95% confidence interval for specificity and sensitivity. So 95% but as low as 90% toward the beginning or end of an infection. Adjust down for mishandling of kits probably more positive with contamination noise). Adjust up if we are testing for RNA that is common to more things than COVID-19 (more positives).
So even under best cases and assuming we're looking for only COVID-19 and the technicians are flawless and the viral load is high, then .25% of double positives are false. But it's as high as 5% if we assume they were sick the first time and only the second test is bunk. But as high as 95% if we are testing with inadequate specificity. Hard to tell without knowing what the comparison is against. Is it COVID-19 isolated or infected tissue that we mislabeled or whatever.
