Viruses / Vaccines 2

There are no precautions  i can take i have to look after my child and partner and her 15 year old son. Its ok don't  worry. Its coming to everyone  at some point. I truly  figured my goose was cooked as i take my daughter  every morn and her class  had an out break and school said bring  the damn kids in as long as no fever. Even if poss.  Fuckin mental but at that point whats the  point.  So she got it and so on.

cool.  When I got it back in January I segregated myself, masked or double masked and was able to just stay away.  When we had a few times I had to be closer, I double masked and my wife and kid masked for a bit.  That was back in January.  I personally still think I would follow those same precautions for a known (+) if it happens in my house again.  It worked for us, or with a little luck as well, as neither my wife nor daughter tested (+) for Covid.

I personally have relaxed a lot in regards to crowds etc. It would change for me if known positive though.  Good luck and I hope everyone feels better soon.

This  is the weirdest  virus ever.  Ive sat here all week looking after my child and partner whilst not catching it . I may well  do in the near future  but ive been coughed  on
 Breathed on and been in full contact for 5 days. Odd

You might be one of those that is immune Rob!

Can you imagine the irony chris!

I seem to remember you being pos at some point recently?

I have not been yet  . 

is natural immunity a real thing with covid? I'm kinda wondering about my family. we've been cautious throughout the whole thing, literally everyone we know has gotten it; I've gone to concerts, I take the bus to and from work, I'm at the office 4 days a week, my wife works in child care and has worked throughout the entire pandemic, and some of her staff have had it multiple times, and none of us have been sick this whole 2 1/2 years. 

it's odd.

I remember seeing that at one point they thought blood type may be an indicator of risk…some higher some lower. Who knows though. Maybe you are just so evolved you were ready to rule the world.

Got the latest booster yesterday along with the flu shot. Feel fine today.

I was the Doctor's yesterday for routine visit and I asked if I could get both Vacs and was told I had to wait 2 weeks until I could get Covid Booster.

Interesting, everything else I had seen (though I haven’t read about it in some time) was this was not the case. 

I asked my Pharmacist and she told me I could, but that was last year. Not sure if there's a difference. 

About 14 days since my partner and young daughter  got covid. My partner  now has secondary chest and sinus infections. Daughter  back at school.  I didnt get it. How strange

Have you been tested for pathogens to see if you've had it? A lot of people are just asymptomatic, you could have had it 2 or 3 times and not know.
I don't think I've heard of anyone being completely immune with natural immunity. But it effects everyone differently.

I don't know how to do that and if it's even available in communist health care.

Vax makes you have antibodies  they cant tell the  difference in that test. I was  having tests as part of a survey last year  and had antibodies  from vaccine . But my booster was a year ago. And identical  to my girl friend we had identical  vaccines  at same times .  Its just all odd

cool, thanks often. but how would that work? I'm triple vaxxed. can that test differentiate between infection antibodies and vaccine antibodies?

The website provides information on this. They test two different antibodies, one of which is specific to natural infections only and one of which can occur with either natural infection or vaccination, so the test can potentially differentiate, with the proviso that antibody levels fall over time.
