Has anyone had covid twice?

[2020needstobeoverwith]

Just that really.

Has anyone who tested positive before in like last 3 months, tested positive again a couple of months later?

I know a family who all had it in June and tested negative between days 7-10. Don’t think it’s that common to continue to test positive for weeks after

Quite a few people are reporting second infections in the States. Quite hard to evidence here as so many people weren't able to confirm that they had COVID the first time round.

My colleague. They are based overseas and tested positive during the initial outbreak - start of Feb. Months after being fully recovered she was off sick and really quite unwell, tested again and found to be positive. She's now off long term with what sounds like chronic fatigue type symptoms.

When I last spoke to her she said it was being assumed she had different strains, but that her second experience was more severe than the first. When I expressed surprise over her getting it twice she said its more commonly reported where she is (Malaysia) and that she had heard of similar cases as early as May. Dont know of anyone else though.

The reason we don't hear about it much here, is that our testing, or lack of, especially back in March until much more recently, has been an absolute shitshow.

Surely if you test positive but are asymptomatic you are immune to the virus, or at least immune to the pathogenic capacity of the virus?

They are carriers

You can test positive and be asymptomatic the first time and then get sick the second. It's not as simple as once asymptomatic, always asymptomatic.
