[QUOTE="hyponilla, post: 2243643, member: 509037"] No. Even if you'd catch it, you wouldn't necessarily be immune against reinfection. With most viruses you are, but no one knows with this one yet. Also immunity is typically for a few months, not for life. On top of that, the virus could mutate so that your immune system wouldn't recognize it and you'd get it again. Hence the new influenza vaccine every year.

Even if you do, most people come through just fine. And with so many silent carriers, there's a chance you've already had it. [/QUOTE]
