So while their body was fighting COVID-19, some other virus could have snuck in. If the virus has an incubation period of about a week, like COVID-19, and it goes unnoticed by the body while getting better it could make it seem like it is a "reinfection."
That’s true. It could also be a sign the immune system is losing the battle. Or a nosocomial infection. Those would all be more plausible than a reinfection with the same virus within weeks or 2-3 months tops.
