It's inevitable, and the GREAT news is that....

...once you get through this, your natural immunity takes care of things for the remainder of your time here on planet Earth. Humans are interesting living entities.

Well, I wish it was true

Immunological memory for covid (and influenza-like viruses) only lasts few months.

Unfortunately, my wife had it twice already...

 
 By: mdg : November 29th, 2022-15:08
...but the good news is, it was much milder the second time.

Glad to hear that!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 29th, 2022-16:21

Well I am hoping for the cheap/mild version - LOL

When it comes to Covid (or any disease)...

 
 By: mdg : November 29th, 2022-16:45
...it is the only time we wish for a TImex instead of a minute repeater : )

Good one! ;)

I'm no doctor, but you should get a bit of immunity each time...

 
 By: mdg : November 29th, 2022-16:44
...and some variants seem more virulent than others. I 'escaped' forever but my luck ran out. I was just glad to get back home before it hit me...

Get better quickly, mon ami.

Merci Nicolas!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 29th, 2022-17:36

Exactly, milder as the body 'remembers'.

 
 By: enjoythemusic : November 29th, 2022-18:34
See, with things of inevitability look on the bright side. The positive human spirit endures. ❤️

Hoping for the best for sure here - tks

To be clear: There is no solid evidence that having Covid once provides lifetime immunity, in part because the virus frequently mutates.

 
 By: CR : December 1st, 2022-16:44
I remember when that hopeful rumor first circulated, and I echo what piccolochimico wrote: "I wish it was true." See this fact check . I am open to being corrected about this with more solid contrary evidence, of course.

You're right of course, those vaccinated now make up a majority of deaths.

 
 By: enjoythemusic : December 3rd, 2022-01:20
The Washing Post recently posted an article "Fifty-eight percent of coronavirus deaths in August were people who were vaccinated or boosted, according to an analysis conducted for The Health 202 by Cynthia Cox, vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundati... 

You have now made three misleading assertions.

 
 By: CR : December 3rd, 2022-16:54
1. The first misleading assertion is that "your natural immunity takes care of things for the remainder of your time here on planet Earth." That misleading assertion was previously addressed by others here, myself included. 2. The second misleading assert... 

Hope it will be mild case

Wish you a speedy recovery

Thank you Centurionone

It's impressive that you managed to avoid it for so long!

I hope you don't feel too bad and that you recover swiftly. All the best, Jon

Thanks Jon!

Time to sit at home

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : November 29th, 2022-14:09
And play (more) with your watches! Hydrate and rest.

Sorry!

How are your symptoms?

Thank you vallura

Me too! Tks

We avoided it for 2 1/2 years and my wife had it over Thanksgiving.

 
 By: Thomas_3 : November 29th, 2022-14:22
She quarantined, and everyone in the house wore masks. With the exception of my wife we all tested negative all week long. You can be the most careful person on earth when out in public and yet COVID can slip thru the cracks and get you. Fortunately her c...

I also was extremely careful but

 
 By: aWtchslvr : November 29th, 2022-14:50
I got it on July. I am sure you will fully recover and, from my experience, your life will be better than before. Best.

Crossing my fingers then!

thank you my friend

Been there, done that...

 
 By: mdg : November 29th, 2022-15:10
...came home from my son's wedding in October and brought it with me. Fever was the only bothersome symptom. But the loss of taste and smell for a week was super bizarre. Peanut butter? Nothing. Whisky? Nothing...weird.

You will do fine...

 
 By: mdg : November 29th, 2022-16:18
...keep eating and drink a lot of fluids. Isolation (my wife locked me in our bedroom and she still got it) was boring as hell though : )

that is the plan! thanks again

thank you kindly my friend

My friend, please take good care.

Listen to your body and rest and try not to stress. It will run its course and you’ll be just fine in no time. I’m sorry you have to go through this. Please get well soon🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You must celebrate recovery . . .

 
 By: Dr No : November 29th, 2022-16:16
. . . with a new chronometer. May I suggest vintage?

I love that idea! What did you have in mind my friend?

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 29th, 2022-16:23

I'll give you three guesses . . .

 
 By: Dr No : November 29th, 2022-18:48
. . . but you'll only need one. ...  

If guesses were wishes? Well, only if . . .

Had my first go-round in March 2020. Not terrible, but clearly worse than my second bout in June 2022. I didn't even realize I had covid the second time until I tested prior to a trip with my daughter. Cleared it in 4 days (implication: I had it for a few...

My symptoms were pretty mild but the cough persisted for 5 months.

Thankfully it wasn't a debilitating cough -- just a noticeable annoyance.

 
 By: CR : December 1st, 2022-14:56
I was just surprised that I had any long-term consequences given that I didn't feel too bad when I had the illness itself -- no fever, no fatigue, just a few days of a sore throat, stuffy nose, and cough (like a mild cold). I got a second booster shot abo...
