We deserve this. Praying for a quick and decisive hospital stay.

    Can you catch covid twice? I've been wondering that for a while now

          No, a functioning immune system should develop immunity against most if not all infections you have ever encountered.

          For a limited time, and a time that varies depending on the individual. Though granted, if Covid is similar to other coronaviruses immunity should stay around one or two years at least for most people.

        It is possible like it is possible with more or less every flu etc, but it is not common, and if you catch it again, you will almost definitely pass it very mildly because the immune response will be there.

      there was a new strain of covid in HK that was stronger and could infect you a second time even if you already had it, so lets hope boris got that one

      Yeah, I spoke to a girl yesterday who had it twice. She said the second time she just had a bad headache. Women however are more likely to develop anti-bodies than men.
