Odd, I’ve had it 4 or 5 times maybe and only the first was like the real flu. But the long COVID is an annoyance. I did get the vaxxx do maybe that’s why the later rounds were so mild.
As I understand it as well. Catching the virus is more likely from touching surfaces coated with the virus then touching one's face, or something similar.
Interesting (though not surprising) that my question above has been downvoted. This is a touchy topic where political alignment sometimes supersedes even the will to reason.
Apparently there was even a small protective effect from children in the household, though this went away after schools reopened. One of the hypotheses in this paper is cross-immunity with other circulating coronaviruses:
Based on this, I will continue my practice of licking subway handrails instead of religiously “sanitizing” everything like the person preparing to sit next to me just did.
Your immunity is not effective enough (sorry, blame you, your ancestors or your vaccine manufacturer ) or you were infected by a variant with enough differences in its antigens that it counts as a different virus.
If this is true, you are a bit of a “miracle of nature”. Catching it twice is highly unlikely. You’ve had it so many times you can’t remember if it was 4 or 5.
