It insane how people/media outlets simply ignored what has happened in our past.<p>We had many pandemics. Why should this virus now be radically different? Our immune system would not have survived so long if we kept getting critically sick from virii our system has seen before.
A Dutch newspaper keeps an updated list of reinfections worldwide. Interestingly, there has only been 82 cases and 3 death, which is a tiny amount.<p><a href="https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/08/covid-19-reinfection-tracker/" rel="nofollow">https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/08/covid-19-reinfection-t...</a>
Encouraging, maybe it will be accepted by the slowpokes in governments I won't name. Even with a recent positive antibodies test I still had to get negative CV tests.
Personal anecdote: My wife and I got COVID very early in 2020 (she’s a health care worker and picked it up at work) and we both had a very mild illness, only one week of flu symptoms then back to normal ourselves. 11 months later a family member got ill and we both were in close contact for hours with that person as we admitted them to hospital for a check up and were in a tiny unventilated room for hours. That person had high fever and a coughed the entire time and we were up in their face because that person needs care with drinking and so on. Long story short, we both expected to get ill again but it didn’t happen. Not a tiny bit. Clearly we had an amazingly strong immune response to the virus still almost an entire year later, contradictory to what most news outlets tried to make us believe.<p>EDIT:<p>People who downvote my real life experience are literally just poor tiny internet trolls who feel offended by other people’s positive experiences. I haven’t said anything which isn’t mentioned in the article itself, just confirmed that my personal experience makes me believe that it’s quite plausible. Clearly some people feel offended by just life itself. LOL to those losers.
