CHARLESTOWN - COVID-19 cases are on the rise across the state. For Lorraine Hemingway of Carver, it's her 12th time contracting the virus. Now she'll spend her third Christmas without her family.
She says she specifically misses spending more time with her grandchildren. "I look at them and it's almost like they got used to me not being around," said Hemingway.
The first time Hemingway tested positive was in 2020. In 2021, she contracted the omicron variant. Since then, she's dealt with long COVID, a nickname for those who've had an acute case of COVID with long-term symptoms. "I've never been the same," she said.
Despite being fully vaccinated with two boosters, Hemingway suffers from brain fog, headaches, and loss of balance. She stays away from seeing her grandchildren to keep them safe.
"They're all little and I'm missing their recitals, I used to go watch them play hockey and soccer," said Hemingway.
She just finished her second round of Paxlovid treatment. Dr. Shira Doron from Tufts Medical Center said Paxlovid rebound sometimes results in a positive test result.

Just personal experience, but the data supports it...
2 years protected with natural immunity, despite several of the “risk factors”. My wife is in healthcare and is regularly exposed.
So...are you just making stuff up?
They aren't the same.
She may just be a neurotic freak who gets herself tested with boring regularity.
No, I'm commenting on the story. Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension. A woman who's had COVID 12 times. Tell me more about her natural immunity, not yours or your wife's.
Yep. Gives them something to always talk and complain about. They think it makes them the center of attention, but people shun them. Which, I suppose, ramps their hypochondria up to the next level.
Hypochondriacs are in the same class as “alcoholics,” in my mind. AA gives them the weekly shot of victimhood that they crave. They are NEVER cured, of course, because then they’d lose their leverage.
Using the pre-infected swabs from china will do that to a person.
Truly bizarre.
I want to some day find the room where the twisted oligarchs sit sipping champagne and gnashing on Wagu Beef tenderloin while the chuckle and snort over the charades they play on the masses. For I know they enjoy it.
What does long COVID have to do with being contagious?
Why does that make her have to stay away from them?
“Long COVID” addled her brain so much she just KNOWS she’ll infect her grandkids if she gets within a city block of them.
The poor woman is denying herself all the joy of life. She is truly to be pitied for her mental illness.
Maybe - just maybe - the test has a huge false positive rate.
Someone buy this woman some Ivermectin paste so she can get on with her life.
Could it just be the “TEST”? Hmmmmmmmm???????
she’s had 12 positive tests....
Don't know about there in the States, but here in Germany, getting a positive test result - while initially an inconvenience (what with the mandatory quarantining and all) - did bestow, upon subsequent recovery, the (unvaxxed) individual enhanced rights, comparable to those of a vaxxed person, at least for three (or six) months.
Of course, in the case of this person, who had been repeatedly vaxxed anyway, I don't see any sense in this.

Some people just catch colds more easily than others. My girlfriend one year in high school had one cold after another all winter long. I never caught one, and not for lack of trying.
Total idiot. The end
Yep. To any and everything.
Um, the "vaccines" disable one's natural immunity. That's the bad news. You need to keep up.
At the same time, the good news is, SARS-COV-2 has undergone so many mutations -- as coronaviruses invariably do -- that it is effectively just a common cold nowadays. We're all familiar with the phenomenon where one can get multiple colds throughout cold "season," because whatever immunity one developed to some earlier strain will often provide no protection when one is exposed to a different strain.
The further good news is that the COVID "pandemic" is now well and truly over. Except for those who've been doubled-vaxxed and double-boosted. A lot of those people have effed themselves. That's the further bad news.
She doesn’t really like family getogethers. “Oh shoot! I’ve got covid again. Guess I can’t make it.”
I am not going to live the rest of my life, huddled in fear, missing life.
Screw that.
Exactly right, I think. Sure, prudent precautions -- e.g., handwashing, vitamin D supplementation -- are in order. But life is for the living. I'm appalled to see just how many of my countrymen have proven themselves to be gutless, craven hypochondriacs. "Home of the brave," my *ss.
