Can you get covid again?

It seems that yes.

It is believed that re-infection is unlikely in the months following covid. It used to happen that immunity against viruses of this type lasted from one to three years.

There, and with immunity, not everything is clear. Some of the antibodies in those who have recovered clearly have a protective effect, but to what extent it is useful has not yet been clarified. Maybe cellular immunity is important there, which is not associated with antibodies.

The first to become famous was a young Chinese man who had been ill with one type of the virus, and five months later he happily rushed to travel and brought home the second type. The virus was found, but the Chinese did not seem to complain about anything.

So the re-infection is likely to be less bad. That is, the acquired immunity will be enough not to get sick.

Although scientists believe that this will not always be the case. If a whole army of viruses attacks a person for the second time, then again he can get sick more severely than the first time.

There is also a story of a patient on chemotherapy, whom the second virus finally finished off.

In fact, all these stories of reinfection were proven by complex genetic research of the virus. You can't do that on every corner. This is necessary to distinguish between two viruses or to understand that it was a reactivation of one virus.

This is to what we have already discussed prolonged virus isolationfrom which there is not much harm.

Americans do not test their survivors for three months after covid, because nothing is clear there, and you can get confused.

It seems that immediately after the illness, the immunity will be decent, but then everything is very unreliable. To be honest, I want to get vaccinated. Even in the third phase. And then I already ruined my nose with interferon.
