in China and other nations, in Geneva on January 22, 2020.World Health Organization officials said not all people who recover from the coronavirus have the antibodies to fight a second infection, raising questions as to whether or not patients develop immunity after surviving Covid-19.

"With regards to recovery and then re-infection, I believe we do not have the answers to that. That is an unknown," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO's emergencies programs, said at a press conference at the organization's Geneva headquarters on Monday.

They know nothing WHO what a waste

Who has let the world down feeding us the propaganda of the ccp

Send them to NYC and find out

CNBC it remains unclear why you consult the WHO

Of course there are not immune to the second infection, but the effect on the second time can be less lethal

greta Don’t trust WHO. You shouldn’t either

Cancer patients that beat cancer get cancer again. Same with flu. Assume its fair game every year since its man made bio weopan

Oh dear, even the most fundamental questions still remain unsettled, how is this possible?

Ask South Korea for God's sake.

Why doesn’t WHO just ask China and go with that ?....oh wait, maybe that is not such a good idea.

greta I wouldn't trust any info coming out of this politically biased and corrupt organization WHOLiedPeopleDied CoronavirusOutbreak Plus NBC covered the story 🤣

greta FireFauci firewho

greta The WHO couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

greta fear mongering.

KenneyBaden WHO lunatics needs to shut up

greta At what point do you stop reporting anything from WHO ? They as much Fake News as you are! Pathetic

greta Dick heads like nbc

greta Don’t believe WHO on anything.

Korea data says NO

greta Who believes WHO?

Can't do that when we all aren't getting tested. You all are leaving testing up to doctors who have never seen this before & when u r dealing with pre existing conditions doctors do NOT know what to do except isolate & not test. A select few get tested! That's not a real study!

greta Have your spokeswoman say it to the dead bodies (this is lady Gaga)

greta Huh?

What do they know? WHO

greta

WHO you failed miserably!!

You guys have become a big joke- the whole idea to have a WHO is to protect nations from pandemic. You failed miserably in warning nations when this struck china that it could travel given its infectivity. You should have directed nations to gear up manufacturing PPE and drug Mfg

Stop all funding to this corrupt organization

Probably not

China had the WHO convinces there was no sustained human transmission while they were building field hospitals. An organization that relies on corrupt governments for information is useless. Seems like intelligence agencies all over the world had a better grasp on this then WHO

We can not reopen the economy in any meaningful sense until there is a vaccination. Workers must demand in one voice that we will not return to work until we are protected by a vaccine. Our ruling class will suffer f we all stop paying rent, mortgages and student loans together.

And they want countries (from their tax payers money) to keep funding WHO. It has been 5+ months and they couldn't figured it out, yet they have guts to keep doing these daily briefings.

who is an incompetent bunch of corrupts and cnbc isnt far off!

WorldStarHipHop!!

Cool, so they can encourage the public to hide forever! Good job WHO

I 'll always believe Who over Non medical leaders.

WHO doesn’t know anything other than what China tells them.

WHO knows nothing. Disband that useless organization.

Sounds like the 1918 influenza. Second wave is coming back with a vengeance.

jimcramer still so positive? I’m 60 and I’m not going to do anything this year with travel or spending.

their not immune, like cancer and other forms, health prevention is the key to stay away,

Why is this being posted constantly! What’s is CNBC agenda!

The coronavirus can travel through the air 13 feet — twice as far as social distancing guidelines, according to a report from the CDC & the New York Post, We don't enough about this virus to ease restrictions. We need more info.

Finally we have a picture of someone else from WHO.Things are moving well there seems like

WHO needs to get their act together. They have an entire population that has recovered in China to evaluate isn’t it.

Who? What? No

I know someone that was infected twice. Young person in Miami

Boycott the WHO and China!

And they wonder why they're getting their funding cut. The WHO doesn't know anything...again

DefundTheWHO

Are they immune to bull shit?

Coronavirus infection may cause lasting damage throughout the body, doctors fearSome patients who have recovered from coronavirus infection are suffering lasting damage, including liver damage, heart damage and blood clotting problems. This has been my concern. I wonder what genetic switches this virus will impact. What kind of chronic health conditions will it spur? Autoimmune disorders, etc. The infection could be just the beginning for folks. 😥 Scary! More fearporn. Geez, almost any virus can cause lasting damage if the infection is not cleared. Stop making out like this is some supervirus. Its just a respiratory virus from a family of common viruses.
