Hong Kong scientists report case of man reinfected with coronavirus four and a half months after his first bout - the world's first proven case of reinfectionhttps://t.co/dTc5MQ6bxx

He has to be a exception.... otherwise this damn virus will be with us forever.
Still if hes like 1 person in the world, out of 24 million+ cases over a periode of ~5-6 months to be confirmed reinfected.
Theres a low chance of that happending right?

Well, reinfections are possible with many infections. The main question is: how long does the acquired immunity helps. 4 and a half months is long in comparison how long this pandemic exists. So, if this is a real thing (I am not convinced yet), then it should start to happen more often from now.
