The Covid Club

[Necro]

Both tests back for the kids, littlest one is negative and eldest positive. No idea how one escaped when they share a room!

Stronger Immunity? Take Care all of Ye

[Declan A Walsh]

I wonder do some people have near 100% immunity from infection? It would be great to be one of those!

I think those people get it but they don't notice any symptoms they are so mild. Like those people who always tell you they never had a cold in their life: they have but they just didn't realise it.

I think so as well. I do know a few people who all their lives never noticed a head cold or flu but did become quite unwell with Covid. It's a strange one.

I know a couple where she tested positive so he stayed sleeping in the same bed with her to get it as well and have it over and done with.
He was doing tests but he never caught it at all, so I was thinking he must have had it already when he was working abroad and didn't realise it at the time.

I could cry. Doctor referred me for test. Appointment tomorrow. In the meantime I decided to book one privately because I didn't know how long I'd be waiting for HSE. So cancelled it when it do come. Went to gosafe today. Results came back as 'indeterminate'
Hopefully work will except antigens now.

The private company should be retesting you based on that result, HSE would anyways I believe. I'd call them about it but don't pay them any more money because to me that sounds like they didn't do something right to get an indeterminate result

They retested me on Wednesday and praise be the result was a negative.

I got to join Covid club, since Sunday (housemate tested positive earlier in week, so was only a matter of time!)

Physically I feel fine for the most part; briefly had headache and sore throat but both now gone, and what I'm left with just feels like having a cold. (Had my booster shot a month prior so I'm sure that helped mitigate the worse effects). But it's the mental effects I'm struggling a little bit more with; can't help but feel a bit deflated and worn down. It sucks to think that you did everything you could to be safe and prevent something....but it still happens anyway. Covid itself isn't the main issue, but it's contributed to prising open an otherwise dormant can of worms....if that makes sense?

But sure as long as I escape the dreaded "long Covid" then I'm probably better off having had it.

CDC said studies they did for Delta showed having had Covid gave 6 time higher protection from reinfection than vaccination so likely better for Omicron too. You'll be invincible for the next while 🙂

I do get that. But don't forget that all your efforts to avoid it meant you didn't get it while it was more virulent, or you were unvaccinated. You stayed clear until it's at the point where, touch wood, it's not going to affect you too much. That may not have been the case before, so your efforts weren't in vain

Looks like cases are high with this newest variant, everyone take care
