Any notions to that tune are really in the theoretical stage. No-one can assume that at this point, there simply isn't the data to determine that.
You need time to tell if a second infection is or is not infectious.

Also, I believe the population in Wuhan is much more compliant with protective measures such as mask wearing, so we don't really know whether it is that or herd immunity that has protected them. (We also don't really know numbers - it is China after all)

I do also wonder if someone who was sick Purim time was actually tested? Or just assumed they were sick with Covid. Tests weren't readily available then, so they would have had to be pretty sick to have been tested.

Um no, not really theoretical at all:

You don't need months to see that a viral load is not contagious. You need less than two weeks.

That study is not talking about people who had it, were free of it and then got sick from a second source. It is talking about people who tested positive then negative then positive.

Unless...

We can manage to quickly immunize EVERYBODY (or at least, enough people to get to the necessary threshold, whatever that might be) so that the virus has nowhere to go and dies out before anyone loses immunity.

The worst-case scenario for infectious disease specialists is the one where the virus keeps circulating from place to place, coming back for a second round when immunity from the first one has faded, and on and on.

But that would have to be done globally to be effective- every single country would have to immunize a majority of its population.

Right. Or at least, hermetically seal their borderes until they do that. An impossible scenario.
