At this moment in time, I disagree and I disagree for the following reasons.

1) As you pointed out, we don't know how many people were re-tested
2) People were retested in China, 38 out of 262 tested positive. (14%)
3) The fact that people are re-testing as positive provides enough reason for this to be investigated further.

They can't dismiss it because "it's not very many". We need to know the reasons why these are re-testing as positive. False positives in the first test? Disease reactivating? A second infection? That is why I say the number of people re-testing as positive is currently not so important. In my opinion, the actual fact that immunity cannot, at present, be guaranteed is something that we really need an answer to.

At least, we should have retesting of people once recovered - and in every country.
