Catching Covid twice
Vanity ^ | 09/05/2021 | Me

Posted on 09/05/2021 7:25:41 AM PDT by steadcom

Has anyone gotten Covid twice with the symptoms and you tested positive each time? How soon after did you get it the second time? 6 months, 12 months?

I read where they say your built up immunity should keep you from getting it again for 6-8 months but I wanted to hear about your specific situation. Thanks.

No, it's not.

Without any treatment at all it has a 99%+ survival rate unless you are old and fat.

Stop listening to globalist propaganda.

I got ‘it’ twice spread out over 18 months, and I’m sharing as many details as you.

Congrats on your acquired immunity and (presumed) return to good health. Now if your brain could only accept it...

Probably need to specify vaxxed or unvaxxed. Might make a difference.

Full natural immunity, unvaxxed, is supposed to last for many years.

When my wife started working at a nursing home ten years ago, she brought home the flu and colds(coronaviruses) every other week and we were sick a LOT. Then about five years ago, it just stopped and we no longer got sick. Guess we had everything there was to catch and were immune. Lasting for years.

I forget who said it, toerh Peter McCullough or Yeardon, that people who has SARS over 15 years ago, have immunity to SARS-covid.

My husband tested for the antibodies - after recovery. He did not have antibodies.

And I already mentioned that I have experienced enough illness in my life to know the difference between a cold, flu,and bronchitis. I think I’m able to figure out if this was any of those.

It wasn’t.

I didn’t go for testing, because the testing is crap.

“The second time he was much sicker.”

*****

I have a suspicion that if the virus was engineered, it was made to do just that.

Rapidly, continuously mutate. You get it multiple times, as you get older and develop other health issues, eventually it gets you.

Like the common cold, but with a kick.

Well, I think we are kinda on the same page here.

My point was, how many people are ending up in the hospital because of over vigilance? Running to the hospital with symptoms that in years past, they would have nursed at home and recuperated?

I have no idea how many times I’ve had covid, if any, because the symptoms are too similar to too many other possible ailments - so I have never been sufficiently concerned to bother getting tested.

And even if I did get tested, I don’t know if I could trust the results, because apparently there are many factors that can lead to false positives or false negatives - including timing of the test relative to the infection, timing of the test relative to the vaccine, presence of a similar coronavirus, such as a cold virus, or simply the limitations of the test methodology.

I think if we had never been told about this virus, and no one had taken any countermeasures, we would have been a lot better off, and overall annual hospitalizations and mortality rates would have been well within the normal range.

But without a crisis, there is no excuse for the state to control everything.

Therefore, it was made into a crisis.

I have not had it even once. However, an old friend of mine now in her mid-50s and very healthy had it twice, first last summer and then in late July/early August of this year, Both times it was confirmed with a test, both times she was symptomatic, and this time she felt a lot worse, although was not hospitalized either time. She was symptomatic for about two weeks, and three weeks after she was diagnosed I saw her, and by this time she looked fine,

She said she was not vaccinated because she has Hashimoto’s disease and her doctor advised against it.

I know somebody who got it december and again in june, both involved brief hospital stays. The fact is everybody’s antibodies are different. Some folks generate a lot of antibodies for a long time, some produce a little, some produce for only a short time. How often do you get sick? That’ll tell you most of what you need to know. If you catch every cold that cruises through your office you probably don’t make a lot of antibodies and/or don’t make them for long. If you can’t remember your last cold you don’t get a second round of anything.

Yup. I bet a large percentage of the people who think they had COVID just had the flu.

Agreed.

And I have a sneaking suspicion, the v@x is special sauce.

You are exactly right. I got it the first time in March 2020 after a 3 day layover in Guangzhou China. Came home and gave it to my wife. It took us about 2 months to get over the severe fatigue. My son got it from us when he came home from college shortly after I returned. He had the worst symptoms but the fastest recovery. None of us could get tested because none of us needed hospitalization and that was the requirement to be tested at the time. My son did get tested for everything else they could test him for including flu, mono, etc. All negative.
I got it the second time this April after a layover in England. The Indian variant was just starting there. Again, brought it home and gave it to my wife. This time was almost nothing except we lost our taste and smell for about a week. We both tested positive. 4 weeks later she tested positive for antibodies. I was negative. So I took a Tcell test. I was positive on that. Doctors I spoke with said because of my first exposure, my body fought off the second exposure easily and I probably hardly generated any antibodies at all. My long term immunity (t cell) took care of it quickly and effectively. Aside from losing taste and smell both my wife and I were nearly symptom free the second time around.
I fly internationally for a cargo company. Last week I was in Japan, China, Singapore and Australia. I get tested several times a month to comply with various national laws. I probably also get exposed to COVID several times a month. I don’t worry about it at all anymore. I’d rather have it than a bad cold. I stay fit and take lots of vitamin C and D. I haven’t been vaccinated and I will not get vaccinated until I absolutely have to. At some point, like the flu or the common cold, everyone will get COVID. Like the flu, it will kill a small percent of the people who get it. The rest of us will be a little inconvenienced and move on.

Yes one of the big lies is that you can get COVID 2x. According to Dr. McCullough most of those that get COVID 2x are the result of false positives.

As we have discovered the test for COVID was amplified to such an extent that any virus detected would appear as COVID, which is also why there were virtually no flu cases last year.

Likely someone that claims they have gotten COVID a second time actually had something else one of those times.

I see. Your psychic powers tell you that you had COVID-1984 multiple times.

Thanks for clearing that up.

People need to stop getting tested. Testing of healthy people makes no sense. The PCR test has played a major role in Big Pharma’s and the CDC’s coup.

I had Covid last year. Very mild case (lost smell, felt like mild flu with different mild achy after-effects).
This year, had prolonged exposure (son caught it, new strain going around at school) - I didn’t get it again, tested negative twice (will likely test again tomorrow).

It’s not a lie you can get COVID twice. It’s just uncommon. But there is enough variance in COVID that getting it once does not mean you’ll never get it again. Just like all coronaviruses, it mutates. That’s why vaccines will never stop it. And why the mRNA vaccines that were designed against the Wuhan variant are ineffective against the Indian variant. It’s also why the flu shot is hit or miss against the flu. Not all viruses mutate. Smallpox for example is very stable. That’s why the smallpox vaccine is effective. But COVID is a coronavirus. They are very agile and vaccines are essentially useless against them. So are masks.
