ACT covid reinfection rates most likely show a reporting bias where people who are infected multiple times stop testing or stop reporting.
It's very unlikely that this data reflects the true portion of infections that are first time vs repeated infections.

@dom_ma Yes. I said the same thing a bit earlier on another platform in relation to same ABC article.
I believe that people who have never been infected before are more likely to be testing and report an infection. As such, they are more likely to be a bigger percentage of cases.
People infected multiple times - how many will continue to report.....
Without easy testing and good data collecting, we have no real idea about the current state and should not be basing analysis on such incomplete data..
