Have it currently. I am on day 3 of symptoms. For now, the symptoms have been the equivalent of a mild cold. No fever, occasional sniffles, sporadic cough.

I'm in my early 30s and have asthma.

Same here....I'd say if you can not get it that would be optimal

However, I can certainly see how this will end up similar to a common cold over time....something that people get over and over that your body builds up immunity to that barely effects you. I feel like all this money we've pumped into a vaccine for this shite will be all for nothing within 5 years.

Can you get it twice? If so, hopefully I don't get Super Covid.

Sounds easier than the side effects from the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

Had it in July and spent two weeks in the hospital. Treated with Remdesivir. I didn't have to go on a ventilator, but used a Vapotherm during the day and Bi-Pap at night. I have been exposed as recently as Thanksgiving that I know of and antibodies are still working.

I was bored having to be in quarantine when I felt perfectly fine.


My quarantine experience was the shits.

We had close exposure to a case on 12/20. We (me, wife, and daughter) had no symptoms so we said we'll do our 10 day quarantine and be good. I got a cough and cold symptoms on Christmas Eve....tested positive on Monday 12/28. So 10 more days quarantine for me from 12/24. Then my wife tested positive on 1/4 or 1/5. Her school where she teaches is still requiring 14 day quarantines ....so she now has 14 days from 12/31. So essentially we were in quarantine from 12/20 through 1/10....it sucked.

I have not.

My son did (college age) in early September. Mild cold symptoms and fatigue for about a week. Loss of smell and taste for a few days.

Still has antibodies as of test yesterday.

I had a really bad chest cold in February that fit all of the known (at the time) symptoms of Covid

Same here, and tested negative for the flu. I’m guessing several had it before it supposedly arrived in March.

I think the best answer anyone can say is no....there have been very few (like double digits worldwide) cases were people claim to have gotten it twice and I'm not sure those cases are backed up by any real science whatsoever.

At the very least they say you have the anitbodies to fight it off and not spread the virus for 3 months. Personally I think it is much longer than that.

Saw an article today where they think the antibodies from having it last at least 5 months

Survivor!

Mild nasal congestion, back pain and fatigue. The flu has hit me much much harder.

Taste and smell still jacked up a month later.

Thanks. I wouldn't have had any idea either if I didn't get tested.
