On the other hand, they have something like 65 re-infected people. Could it be that they have a different/new strain ?

Edit I don't see why the downvotes. It is easily fact-checkable. Those 65 persons were hospitalized for their symptoms, considered treated and released and about 2 weeks later showed symptoms again.

We need to wait until we have antibody testing to get a clear picture about this.

A theory is that these asymptomatic cases simply had latent virus in their nasal passages (thus testing positive), and not actually be building any antibodies from an infection.

Yeah - Id love to know if there are any cases where someone was sick enough that they were treated, recovered, and then got sick enough they need actual treatment again.

About half of the reinfected have symptoms.
