A Dallas woman is detailing her battle with not one but two rounds of coronavirus.
Over the weekend, Meredith McKee posted a tearful photo -- that's now been seen by more than 100,000 people -- from her hospital bed at Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas.
McKee is sick with the coronavirus again, and she told NBC 5 she wouldn't wish it on her worst enemy.
"To be alone in the hospital and not have anyone, you know," McKee said tearfully.
McKee tested positive for COVID-19 in February. She was diagnosed after feeling "clear and obvious" symptoms.
"I had a dry cough like you would not believe. It would not stop,” McKee said.
She fought the virus from home and beat it. She even donated plasma twice after testing positive for antibodies, thinking she was in the clear.
"I felt great doing finally something good coming out of the hell that I’ve been through because I'm going to help up to eight people with this plasma,” McKee said.
But this past Friday, McKee went to the hospital with high blood pressure and a headache.
She never imagined -- four months later -- she'd test positive for COVID-19 again.
"I was floored when it was positive," McKee said of her diagnosis.
An epidemiologist at UT Southwestern -- not connected to McKee's case -- said catching the coronavirus twice is possible, but it appears to be uncommon.
"We don't really know how serious the illness is the second time compared to the first time," said Dr. Robert Haley with UT Southwestern.
A second positive test after a negative result may mean the virus is simply taking its time leaving the body, doctors said, and is no longer able to infect others.

McKee said her doctors believe the virus went dormant after her first round of coronavirus, then reemerged.
Tough sht.
RE: Tough sht.
The implication then is once infected and recovered, that does not mean that one is out of the woods. I wonder if they had tested her for antibodies the first time...
Article says she was tested for antibodies and even donated plasma.
Tell me this is not a bio weapon.
“She fought the virus from home and beat it. She even donated plasma twice after testing positive for antibodies, thinking she was in the clear.”
This makes the vaccine a little tougher.
RE: Article says she was tested for antibodies and even donated plasma.
If so, those antibodies are useless then, and so is the plasma, and speaking of plasma, couldn’t they also be infected?
Of course, a false positive is also a real possibility.
But if NBC is reporting this, then the truth is actually whatever the opposite of the report is.
In the same vein...he has also said that any vaccine might only be good for 3-6 months. Who the hell would want that vaccine?
Crickets in response. Perhaps the prior poo-pooers have been red pilled.
I’d like a second opinion.
Translation:
BE AFRAID FOREVER!
Don’t you DARE stop being afraid!
It’s coming back, and stronger than ever, so NEVER EVER EVER go outside (particularly on election day).
The propaganda has now become laughable.
Occam's Razor
If the virus goes dormant (similar to other virus) it will pop back up again when your immune system drops.
Either way the virus is here to stay, humans will catch it and organ damage (Lungs, Liver, Kidney, Brain) will be done to their body each time they catch it.
As you get older, above 60, it gets worst until one day you are not able to overcome the virus due to a underlining condition a person develops as they grow older. When this happens you die because the virus kills old people.
Summary: The average human life span will be reduce. The governments around the world will save a lot of money on social security and pensions. Our carbon foot print will be smaller because the earth population will be reduce in 50 years. Best thing to do is make sure you can retire early and enjoy life.
30% are false positive
