2. That would be weird, a biological marvel to say the least if true

Not discounting what you are saying, but I do want to look at the possibilities if there was no immunity from COVID.

It could mean one of several things:
* There are thousands of upon thousands of stains of COVID going on right now, that if you catch it again, it's a completely different virus. Every virus causing COVID would be different
* It has an immunosuppressant factor to it, this one's less plausible as we'd find out about that if it caused one's immune system to shut down
* The COVID-illness is not actually caused by the coronavirus. You get a bacterial infection - immune response. Flu - immune response. Plague - immune response. Envenomation from snake bite - immune response. There are things that one doesn't get stronger to with repeated exposure though, namely ionizing radiation and exposure to heavy metals

It would be horrifying and bizarre if true. Hope it's not.
