Some additional context on that reinfection article - testing positive for coronavirus after cessation of symptoms is emphatically not the same as still being contagious with coronavirus - there's some recent papers coming out (will need to dig up the citations later) indicating that, for mild cases, you're contagious near the end of the incubation period through day 7-8 of symptoms, then after that the shed viral load is not infectious; however, the patient will continue to test positive for coronavirus for weeks after.

I have to wonder whether 'reinfection' here is genuine reinfection, or an instance of coinfection with, say, pneumonia - patient still testing positive for coronavirus while having severe symptoms from other pathogen.
