have you changed your behaviour - become a little more reckless, because you feel that you cannot get it again - or do you still continue to treat yourself as a possible vector of the disease (mask wearing, sanitising etc)?

My cousin talked about going on hols... this was 4 weeks after her diagnosis, so not a vector stage. Hell yeah, why wouldn't you be braver than before?

No I'm scared of getting it again and DH ending up in hospital again.

Roll on the vaccine

I might be temporarily immune since having it horribly a month ago, but I'm pretty sure I can still carry virus particles collected imperceptibly on my hands, clothes, belongings etc so of course I still sanitise.

I won't be contagious but I wear a mask because I'm not exempt and it makes others feel more comfortable. No hardship for me and I'm happy to avoid other people's breath anyway.

I've stopped washing my shopping!

Oh meant to say, I'm not fearful of getting it again for now, but I suspect immunity fades after a while due to the virus evolving.

But I definitely don't want it again if I can avoid it, it was revolting.

yes, really interesting to hear. I am doing all the things I should still - but I also don't feel quite so nervous when someone comes too close to me.
