My son and I tested positive and had no symptoms. Two other immediate family members had bad cases of COVID at the same time.
6 months later I asked to be tested for antibodies, just to be sure we really had COVID. The tests said we were chock full of COVID antibodies.
0.37% reinfection rate if my math is correct.
I doubt if many of the people who say they had covid for the second time around, actually had it the first time. Unless they have a + antibody test, it could have been any one of a number of respiratory illnesses.
We weren’t a mask/lockdown state and have largely been done with it for a while… I personally know about sixty people who have had covid. I know zero people who have had it twice. Here’s the closest: My boss assumed he had it last year when his wife did but he tested negative (and didn’t have symptoms). He was antibody tested in January (not present) and vaccinated in March. Two weeks ago he was sick with Covid. His symptoms really hit after he tested— most of us had previously had it and didn’t notice anything during the last couple weeks after he had gone in for what he assumed was a sinus infection. His wife was also unaffected.
I am not sure but am curious too. I didn’t think so because his first case was before the vax was available and the second after. Will ask.
WHO labels new Covid strain, named omicron, a ‘variant of concern’, citing possible increased reinfection risk
No I see why CNN was running that story about reinfection risk.
