@@MindfulManifestationn my mom and grandma got it from me. Grandma didn't survive. Mom has become weaker after she recovered. Whatever happens, happens as per God's plan, and we gotta accept it as it is
I've heard you can get reinfected, I know a family who's son 28 got it first time and recovered after a month then 5 months got it again and passed away in hospital. It was very sad to hear.
My opinion and my experience is that SARS-CoV-2 is so transmissible and so virulent that it outruns the body's immune response. I was sick in March. I have caught every variant that has come down the pike. For the past three weeks I have been walloped by a variant. There were moments during the initial infection that were more intense than anything that I have experienced during this present infection; however, this present infection has made me feel worse for more weeks than I felt during the initial infection.
It's not rare .I had it twice . Mild symptoms. First time March 2020 and March 2021. Yes a year apart. Second time was really mild. Fatigue for two days . Fine on third day. I'm a survivor .
Given the possibility of false positives and false negatives, and how rare re-infections are, is it possible that some of the reinfections are actually just the result of bad tests?
By the standards the vaccines were analyzed by, actual infection with covid-19 has a 100% effectiveness rate. The vaccine trials only evaluated for symptomatic cases. The study cited in this video had only two cases of positive PCR tests, but they were in asymptomatic people who would not have been tested for COVID in the vaccine trials. The study and vaccine trials were done before the definition of a positive PPR test was revised. Keep in mind that diagnosed cases have dropped 50 percent now that the number of times that the test cycle is repeated has been limited, so by current definitions about half of previous COVID tests have been false. Also keep in mind that test manufacturers claim in their patient handouts that a positive test without symptoms is not diagnostic of COVID.
@patricia finn My father along with 25% of the residents of the Michigan nursing home that he he was in that was forced to take contagious patients with inadequate PPE for the staff died short of breath at the beginning of the pandemic. He wasn't even tested so that he could be buried rather than force cremated. Since my mother, who had been feeding him, had been locked out for 3 weeks, starvation may also have been a factor in his death. Meanwhile, because of the federal financial incentives, the hospital nearest my home was billing for COVID for people who were not infected at all. One of my best friends died of COVID pneumonia a week before Christmas. I wonder if he would have lived if he had gotten early off label treatment with cheap safe drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. By the time he was given hydroxychloroquine in the hospital, it was too late. I am a retired nurse with education in clinical research. I got a perfect score on my NCLEX exam. The increase in the number of new infections that you cite is indicative of a marked surge in real cases. Falsely raising the number of PCR positive tests through excessive cycling in the past has been in my opinion inexcusable, and it makes valid comparison of statistics almost impossible. If the goal is herd immunity, I think that we should not be vaccinating people who are already known to be naturally immune. I think we should be giving everyone one dose before giving anyone except highly exposed health care workers the second dose. I think the vaccines are substantially safe, but that minimization of side effects of the vaccine and pressure on people in vulnerable groups on whom the vaccine has not yet been tested such as pregnant women foments distrust. I am happy to have a respectful discussion with anyone who disagrees with me.
Yeah, most people grasped this a long time ago. Like chicken pox and shingles. If you don’t practice your immunity then your body doesn’t remember how to fight them. Old people who live in nursing homes get harder with a simple cold than someone of their same age who spends time with kids.
youre talking basic science. This is a novel virus that we don't fully understand otherwise we wouldnt be in this situation. You can't just willy nilly hope your immune system will protect you for reinfection. It likely will, but with its effect globally, it's important to have hard science research based evidence
Yeah, there's under reporting of cases. My sister's co-worker has gotten it twice, but the first time was not confirmed. I don't remember which one made him feel worse, but there was a difference.
@@paikiah77 idk I just got it for first time and apparently a ton of people were all infected last week at just one bar , I wasn’t there but it seems crazy , this bar also requires vaccine cards so everyone was vaccinated ! Idk where I got it but we don’t wear masks anymore so could be anywhere I guess
The incubation period of COVID-19, which is the time between exposure to the virus and symptom onset, is on average 5-6 days, but can be as long as 14 days. Thus, quarantine should be in place for 14 days from the last exposure to a confirmed case👍
That's weird. Quite a few workers at our local hospital have been reinfected. South Africa. First infections were in the second wave in December and now getting infected in our 3rd wave.
In UK National Health Service 0.63% of staff got COVID twice in a 4 month period compared to 2.2% first time infections over the same period. Reinfections are common.
@@samriddhikunwar1192 I'm sorry to hear this. 🙏🏻 for a speedy recovery from whatever you have. Maybe it's allergies or a cold??? Double up on your vitamins D3, C and zinc.
January was probably the flu. March was covid. I got covid really bad end of this April. Ten days of hell then a week in the hospital. I am sure that I have antibodies still working for me. Still it's best to build up your immune system. Take plenty of vitamins. Eat healthy. No sugar. I am going to get one moderna shot this week just in case.
I got it last March and I was sick again in the summer and then in Dec. . Each time it was much less serious. This last time I was just really tired , nausea ,and muscle aches for a few days. My symptoms were always different. I've never had fever or loss of taste/smell.
Are you even sure each time it was Covid? It could've been the flu or something else. According to this study, reinfection is very rare much less getting it '3' times in such a short period of time.
As an extension to this, has there been any indication of additional vaccine side effects for people previously infected with covid-19? CDC recommends people previously infected get the vaccine, and I know it's safe per the trials, but I haven't seen if the trials included people that had previously been infected.
This is because they do not have the data. There's actually very little to NO data. The fact that they're saying if you're vaccinated will help you not get sick as bad! is complete bullshit... There's absolutely no data to back this statement. I would like to see proof of the genome testing that they're doing to even call it a Delta variant. I've talk to LabCorp and many other testing facilities that say they do not send out the positive tests for genome testing how can they call it the Delta variant
I think that the conversations on these topics are flat out hypothetical because there is no science, tracking, etc to follow people. I’m in Georgia... I can get to the CDC office in under an hour. Unless you use the same pcp to conduct multiple covid tests, the other sources for testing have no system to track who is tested, when, and results. I’ve had 4 different tests via health department and pharmacy test sites. Only two even asked if I’d had previous tests. Yet even those two sites asked no other question about it. I know that reinfection happens, because my step brother has had it twice. The time between was greater than 60 days (and I think may have been over 90, but not 100% sure on that). Even though he works for an international corporation, they didn’t make it easy. He was forced by them to quarantine both times but was only able to file for short term disability for the first. (To my knowledge, that has yet to be corrected). He had a negative test after his first quarantine because his job required it. Yet again, no one cared about the specifics of what strain was what. His 2nd quarantine started in the hospital... so these aren’t cases of false positives. He had symptoms, he had multiple tests. But other than testing positive, no one cared. His last quarantine started at the end of October 2020. Obviously people are paying more attention to things now... but no where near enough to support the findings mentioned in this video.
This is a good video. Serology testing vs vaccine mandates should be a standard. Antibody tests are cheap and coveraged by medical insurance. Wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands should be mandated until the infection numbers decrease.
Yes, you can..I've had it three times now!!! I have it right now and had the delta variant in August. It sucks but this time it's not bad at all, this variant doesn't attack your lungs like the delta variant, so it's more like having a head cold..Btw, I was vaccinated this past May..
My family and I were all sick in July of last year. We currently have symptoms of head colds. Mine being the worst. My husband was hospitalized last July for Covid pneumonia. So it brings me relief that this one hopefully does not attack your lungs
Isn’t it true that we’re always going to get reinfected if we are exposed to the virus? Whether you get the vaccine or have natural immunity that doesn’t mean that you won’t get reinfected it only means that your body will most likely respond faster when it sees the virus the next time. Having memory B cells should give the immune response a much quicker response so the virus has less chance to continue replicating and end up causing complications or death. Basically after the first inoculation subsequent inoculations will most likely be asymptomatic or only mild symptoms. Don’t forget 80% of the people With the initial infection are asymptomatic or only mild symptoms. It’s only people with a compromised immune system who generally suffer
Thank you for covering this topic! In my country, peru, people are takin ivermectin like crazy to prevent and treat covid. Could you please review the science done on this topic?
i need help for whoever is in the comments. i got covid exactly on new years. it was hell, but i got over it & recovered. three weeks later, the exact same symptoms are showing up again. is it possible to get covid twice in one month??
Yup! Everyone experience it so differently and that’s the terrifying part. Throw out the fact that you’re young and doesn’t have any underlying diseases, even when you already had it before, you can still experience a serious case of COVID-19.
It's only because the procedure to confirm reinfection is too complicated. It's like getting one of dozens of new mutated strains which are all negative on PCR which is only for the SARS-COV-2. Those people are counted as healthy and not infected, many of them are asymptomatic and going around spreading those new strains.
I had the virus at the end of January. I’ve been in quarantine on February 2nd to February 22nd. Went back to work to get retested. I was tested back negative. I was young, healthy, and not been overweight. I have antibodies to protect myself from the virus. Hope I don’t die from reinfection of the virus. I need to stay home as much as possible, wash hands, use face masks.
Finally some new video about this! all others are from 2020. Anybody here who got reinfected? I had covid in June, my wife just now in January, and I did not get infected...tested twice.

@@JB-le6zm yes!! My infections were within three months of one another. Very different footprint on the second round. Instead of super high fever, my temp was super low! And the rash was really bad. Aside from everything else that makes this illness horrid. How are you feeling these days? How did you fare with the vax?
I see no evidence that we are tracking cases to the level that second infections are flagged. I have tested positive for Covid-19 twice, first in July, more recently at the end of November. I was mildly symptomatic in July and more ill in November, but still not more sick than an average case of flu. I am in Indiana and the second time we were having such a surge that I never got a call from the Indiana State Department of Health. I called my county board of health because I figured it was rare enough that they would want to know and they referred me to the state. At the state level, someone gave me the email of the epidemiology department so I could give them details. I never heard back from them.
Distance, washing, masks are OK, but what about ventilation? Since this is an airborne disease why aren't we talking about ventilation more, much more? Please do a video about ventilation as well.
I think it's probably because it's less relevant advice for most people (who don't operate buildings), although I agree it should be emphasised more for those situations where they have control of windows in a place they are sharing with those outside their bubble.
Overlooked covid safety guidelines, avoid public bathrooms. The small area of stals and heavyweight of fecal droplets help spread covid. Especially avoid air hand dryers as people who don't wash well well have their germs flung all over the bathroom.
If you have the vaccination and are still able to get and transmit the virus, but not get sick, does the virus still do any damage to your body? I haven’t heard any reliable conversation about this. Thank you for your time. Love your channel.
No, the MRNA vaccines are 90% effective against infection according to the CDC. The chances you get this virus after vaccination is EXTREMELY small like you are more likely to die in a car accident small
Yes the virus does damage even if you are vaccinated.. speaking from experience..Heart issues, kidney issues, neurological issues..My taste and smell are still nonexistent..I have tremors and horrible headaches..
WHY didn't you cover the "reinfections" from the new strains? According to Fauci, if you recently had the first strain but recovered from mild symptoms or were asymptomatic, you are still susceptible to being reinfected with the new strains. This information would have been pertinent to this episode and has been covered within the last week.
If the evidence suggests reinfection is rare do you think that vaccination roll out programs should focus on the uninfected first, and why hasn't this been happening?
It's been suggested that you use cold water to wash your hands. This is because it's less stripping of your skin's natural oils. Also, moisturize your hands daily. It's what nurses do and cooks, who both have to constantly wash their hands.
omg dont wash your hands that much. When outside of your home #1 wear a mask #2 do not touch your face or mask with your hands. #3 wash/sanitize your hands as soon as u get home and take off your mask. #4 keep your hands well moisturized when at home with something gentle and fragrance free. If your hands are dry from handling stuff from like a job wear gloves. Be sure to wash your hands before and after putting on the gloves. Your local public health agency(s) should have detailed information about all this kind of stuff please read it so you don't keep hurting yourself.
I have had this problem every year during the Winter! But I found that if I avoid using antibacterial soap it helps a lot! I instead use soap from Bath & Body Works, which has made a world of difference for me.

@@StokedToStripes Another infection Then another infection Then another infection And another then another After all people have been infected then be reinfected, why are there still so many people on the planet.

So I caught Covid not sure which strain though don't know if its Delta or The newest one Omricon but i have 2 days left of my 10 days isolation at home but my Mum caught it off me about 5 days ago. Can i get reinfected again and catch it back off my mum or ? not sure ?
As usual, very well done, but since COVID science moves so fast, this video is now outdated. The NEJM article from Dec 23 is mentioned. But we now have the Lancet SIREN study which shows only 7 or 8% reinfection (same as the best vaccines). A pre-print article from Cleveland which shows convincingly that natural immunity is just as effective as the vaccine. A new CDC (MMWR)article says that in those who had COVID infection, twice as many were re-infected without the vaccine. Unfortunately it's a case control study using odds ratios, totally missing the absolute incidence of reinfection, almost certainly very small, making that study mostly irrelevant. And we need more info on the delta variant, too.
but can they test negative yet be positive as PCR protein reading is too high? I am CEV and my son had it in July. he has been well, BUT has what looks like, smells like and seems to be covid again!
Less than 2 months ago I had COVID 19 and ended up on a ventilator for 6 days. It’s an experience I’d rather not repeat obviously (I’m 44 yrs old). In fact I just had my first COVID shot 10 days prior. The last thing I want is a reinfection of ANY sort, even the symptoms earlier on were rough!
@@AbeGlTV i recovered from covid in the month of may. Now 3 months later here i am with the symptoms of covid again i have fever, loss of smell and taste , cough, stuffy nose. Did a test yesterday ,waiting for the results. Hopefully its negative.
I would suggest for a channel that prides itself on clear understanding of data, using stats that only include hospitalized cases for younger people to portray absolute risk is misleading at best. Good thing you taught us how to catch misinformation about risk. Please clarify absolute risk for all age groups on natural infection vs vaccination.
I didnt cough one time, or have breathing issues. i had a low grade fever, chills, dizziness, and nausea, was better in 10 days, and still test positive for the IgG Antibodies 7 months later. Nice scare tactics doc fyi..not everyone dies from this. Actually it has a 99.5 survival rate for most of us. Im not getting a shot for something my body is already doing on its own.
A few readers have asked us whether you can catch Covid-19 twice. This follows reports at the end of February that a Japanese woman had tested positive a second time. A recent article in the Daily Mail and two articles in the Sun also suggested in their headlines and their early paragraphs that this might be the case. The evidence so far shows that catching the disease twice is very rare, and that most infected people recover and develop immunity against it. However, it is not yet clear how long this immunity will last. When a journalist raised the case of the woman in Japan at the Prime Minister’s press conference on 16 March, the Chief Scientific Advisor, Sir Patrick Vallance said: “In any infectious disease there are cases where people can catch something again. They’re rare. There’s nothing to suggest that this is a common occurrence in this disease, but we are learning as we go along.” A report from the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention on 25 March says, “there is emerging evidence from early studies suggesting that individuals develop antibodies after infection and are likely to be immune from reinfection in the short term”. During a live question-and-answer session on 25 March, Professor Jimmy Whitworth from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said: “There have been a few isolated examples where [reinfection] has been reported. That people were positive, then they were negative, then they were positive again. “It looks like, in the great majority of cases, this doesn’t happen. That people get infected once. My suspicion is that those discrepant test results that we get are to do with, actually, the sampling. It’s not straightforward to take a sample from the back of the throat and make sure you catch virus every time. So I suspect it’s a technical issue, rather than repeat infection… It looks like you are immune for getting it again, but for how long, we don’t know yet.” The articles in the Daily Mail and the Sun cite several reports from China, which describe a small number of recovered Covid-19 patients testing positive for the disease again. As the Mail and Sun articles say, based on local reports, the patients who tested positive twice in Wuhan showed no symptoms the second time and none apparently passed the disease to others. The same was true of a group of patients who tested positive twice in Guangdong province. The Sun quotes a doctor involved in the research saying the results were in the “weak positive” range, suggesting that the virus may no longer have been active. He also added that there may have been problems with sampling. The Mail quotes the director of Wuhan’s Tongji Hospital, Wang Wei, saying: “It’s possible that these recovered patients tested negative before because of false results... The accuracy of a nucleic acid test is 30 to 50 per cent.” In short, these cases do not show that it is common for people to contract Covid-19 twice, as it is possible that the virus had not yet left these patients’ bodies after their first infection.
Was the second time as bad as the first time you got covid? Had covid once, and just yesterday became ill, and wondering if it could be covid with less intense symptoms
We're still learning about long haulers and that's yet another extremely good reason to avoid taking risks. We liked how you emphasized that it is 'MUCH safer to get the vaccine' and that it contains no live virus.
Given that there are 4 different strains of the virus, has there been research or evidence produced yet that suggests if you were previously infected by one strain you could be more likely to be infected by another? Or possibly less likely?
According to studies: You'll not be reinfected in a virus that hits you... but you'll be infected by any new varient.. why?, because they have deferent DNA....in general term you'll be "reinfected" in covid19 but not in his same kind...

Washing hands is another line of defence between you and infection. Just imagine everything you touch is covered in different kinds of excrement. You have poop on your hands. Everytime you touch something, you add a different poop on your hands and on the thing you touch that someone else is going to touch. Use hand sanitizer after you leave a place but before you enter your vehicle. Yes, you still have poop on your hands, but most of the "germs" are killed. That's why you wash your hands whenever you can, because that removes any accumulated shit that you've been carrying around with you.
Great video as usual. At 5:03, we should remember that that's conditional on being hospitalized. Most young people who got the virus probably won't be hospitalized. On the other hand (!) there is also the possibility of long-term effects even if are young and you weren't hospitalized. And then there are those who should have been hospitalized but weren't for whatever reason! Personally, as a person under 40, I'd just rather not have a 1/2000 change of dying, thanks. Plus I'd like to avoid the much higher probability of complications and even long-term effects.
What about the plan to maybe delay the booster shot of the vaccines, depending on availability, to vaccinate more people? Wouldn't this be dangerous? The vaccines were approved for emergency use based on the specific data provided by the trials. It just doesn't seem like a good idea..
I have had covid19 in feb 2020 with 3 days with high fever, headache, fatigue and only 1 event of coughing. The second time was just last November where I was with very mild temperature for only half day, and extreme fatigue for a day follow from less extreme fatigue. In this occasion I did not really take those symptoms as they were possibly related to covid19 since they could be due to stress, long working hours and also "fear". It's only at the end of the only day with symptoms when having my favorite take out meal, I have acknowledged my complete loss of taste and smell. I then follow up with some "tasting test" by eating some food I have had at home... and nothing. Very different from anything I have had experience before. My nose was not obstructed nor was running. Weird fact, Despite the fact I could not taste anything at all, the tongue will feel chili flakes like someone was holding still a blue-light torch on the spot of the tongue where the flakes happen to be. This symptoms did not disappear in a day but I was able to fully regain my sense of taste and smell after almost 2 months from when I tested positive to covid19. ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT, despite the very easy way out from the infection... I have been experienced "post covid19" syndrome after 2 weeks from when tested negative. This include a period of 2 and an half month with a series of symptoms coming and going in a wave like mode, symptoms of any kind including events of hallucination, short breathing, extreme fatigue, confusion, loss of memory both short term and long term, bran fog, muscle pain, weak bones, hearth racing in absence of physical work (even during the night) and for unknown reasons an increase negativity with a never-before experience depression was also experienced. This would gradually get better but yet, time to time I do notice those things still going on but in a mild level.
Man! Sorry about all that. For me, i didn't lose my taste or smell, but my thermostat or body temperature regulator doesn't work normally. I wish you recover from all this. Godfrey
@@tigreygt6614 I was sure I have replied to you... not sure what happened to my reply :D. It is way better now, but unfortunately, I still have episodes one any other day. Due to the randomness of the symptoms and the kind of wave-like intensity of those can only make sense if the brain has been facing some sort of little damage. That won't be fixable but could still improve and at least allow me to have a normal life. I am glad you haven't lost taste or smell.. cause I think it is the red flag from covid19 brain cells infection. I hope you and your family are all good. The best of luck, and thanks for the kind words.
You should get data from Nurses in the hospital, I am a covid survivor, and many nurses I talk to say they are fully vaccinated and they say reinfection is quite normal, most of them had reinfection more than 2 to 3 times in a span of 6 months. The first time they are infected, some of them had symptoms, but consecutive reinfections are all asymptomatic(no symptoms).
I know people who have covid for a third time. I don't know- maybe this time it's actually something else but they are all vaxed. There are unvaxed persons getting it for the first time that i know of as well but they seem to think they could have got if from a vaxed person. It does not matter at this point. If you are more vulnerable you need to isolate right now even if vaxed.

My reinfection story: I got covid in October 20 last year, 6 months after in march 21 my entire family got affected. Now being the only one healthier I was the one taking care of everyone, providing medicines , rushing my parents to the hospital, etc. Here is where i caught the reinfection; sudden fever to 104 deg C, diarrhoea, etc, however this time it lasted for a few days. It seems when body once develops resistance, on the second time it doesnot allows the pathogen to spread that fast and so symptoms dont go that severe. Now would I need a vaccine from here on?

That is aligned with what I understood from the CDC website. I chocked this up to being over cautious on their part. Although the first example, different strain infection, was not super surprising since that happens with the common cold every year.
You are likely to have circulating antibodies for about 3 months. But check out John Campbell's videos. He is a nursing professor in England and has been making daily updates throughout the pandemic. He is beginning to believe that COVID infection provides lifetime immunity to the variant that infected you. One study that was following people who were known to have been infected showed that 100% of those in the study still have robust immunity. Also, in one study of the general population while less than 10% of the people had antibodies, about 30% had T- cell immunity to COVID.

It's not rare .I had it twice . Mild symptoms. First time March 2020 and March 2021. Yes a year apart. Second time was really mild. Fatigue for two days . Fine on third day. I'm a survivor .
The immunity lasts about 6 months
@@Tucet_ IT can last longer than 6 months. I went a full year until I got covid the second time.

@@zachsiatrevor Really what I'm saying is it's NO BIG DEAL!! UNDERSTAND?
Given the possibility of false positives and false negatives, and how rare re-infections are, is it possible that some of the reinfections are actually just the result of bad tests?
a very good question
False positives are *possible* but incredibly uncommon with RT-PCR tests, which is how most COVID-19 tests are analyzed.
Or, conversely, that actual reinfections are being missed.
By the standards the vaccines were analyzed by, actual infection with covid-19 has a 100% effectiveness rate. The vaccine trials only evaluated for symptomatic cases. The study cited in this video had only two cases of positive PCR tests, but they were in asymptomatic people who would not have been tested for COVID in the vaccine trials. The study and vaccine trials were done before the definition of a positive PPR test was revised. Keep in mind that diagnosed cases have dropped 50 percent now that the number of times that the test cycle is repeated has been limited, so by current definitions about half of previous COVID tests have been false. Also keep in mind that test manufacturers claim in their patient handouts that a positive test without symptoms is not diagnostic of COVID.
@patricia finn My father along with 25% of the residents of the Michigan nursing home that he he was in that was forced to take contagious patients with inadequate PPE for the staff died short of breath at the beginning of the pandemic. He wasn't even tested so that he could be buried rather than force cremated. Since my mother, who had been feeding him, had been locked out for 3 weeks, starvation may also have been a factor in his death. Meanwhile, because of the federal financial incentives, the hospital nearest my home was billing for COVID for people who were not infected at all. One of my best friends died of COVID pneumonia a week before Christmas. I wonder if he would have lived if he had gotten early off label treatment with cheap safe drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. By the time he was given hydroxychloroquine in the hospital, it was too late. I am a retired nurse with education in clinical research. I got a perfect score on my NCLEX exam. The increase in the number of new infections that you cite is indicative of a marked surge in real cases. Falsely raising the number of PCR positive tests through excessive cycling in the past has been in my opinion inexcusable, and it makes valid comparison of statistics almost impossible. If the goal is herd immunity, I think that we should not be vaccinating people who are already known to be naturally immune. I think we should be giving everyone one dose before giving anyone except highly exposed health care workers the second dose. I think the vaccines are substantially safe, but that minimization of side effects of the vaccine and pressure on people in vulnerable groups on whom the vaccine has not yet been tested such as pregnant women foments distrust. I am happy to have a respectful discussion with anyone who disagrees with me.
Yeah, most people grasped this a long time ago. Like chicken pox and shingles. If you don’t practice your immunity then your body doesn’t remember how to fight them. Old people who live in nursing homes get harder with a simple cold than someone of their same age who spends time with kids.
youre talking basic science. This is a novel virus that we don't fully understand otherwise we wouldnt be in this situation. You can't just willy nilly hope your immune system will protect you for reinfection. It likely will, but with its effect globally, it's important to have hard science research based evidence
Yeah, there's under reporting of cases.
My sister's co-worker has gotten it twice, but the first time was not confirmed. I don't remember which one made him feel worse, but there was a difference.
You’re more patient than me. Good job. Thanks for making this

Idk where I got it but we don’t wear masks anymore so could be anywhere I guess
I am now covid positive for the second time today with multiple negative tests in between the positive test
How long apart was the first infection to the second? How was the second time, symptoms wise
The incubation period of COVID-19, which is the time between exposure to the virus and symptom onset, is on average 5-6 days, but can be as long as 14 days. Thus, quarantine should be in place for 14 days from the last exposure to a confirmed case👍
and thats why contact tracing is important
Wow 😂 brainwashed
Florida schools are only doing quarantine for 10 days
Have you experienced COVID??? Are you medical expert? I got covid within 2 day after contact . That lasted for 2 days.
That's weird. Quite a few workers at our local hospital have been reinfected. South Africa. First infections were in the second wave in December and now getting infected in our 3rd wave.
Do you know if they were less sick or more sick than the fist infection?
In UK National Health Service 0.63% of staff got COVID twice in a 4 month period compared to 2.2% first time infections over the same period. Reinfections are common.
Strange, but every time it's so rare, it always happens to me.
Know that feeling too well...I'm the 1 in every 1,000,000

@@mikepeterson4746 nope... we tested positive both times. Maybe a different variant?
I got it last March and I was sick again in the summer and then in Dec. . Each time it was much less serious. This last time I was just really tired , nausea ,and muscle aches for a few days. My symptoms were always different. I've never had fever or loss of taste/smell.
U had 3 confirmed positive results and do you have any immune problems
Are you even sure each time it was Covid? It could've been the flu or something else. According to this study, reinfection is very rare much less getting it '3' times in such a short period of time.
I know two people who say they have had covid twice. So I was surprised to see that there were only 5 confirmed...
@Beth Greene What? No of course not. I just said I was surprised...
we need truthful videos like this
I wish your channel was more popular right now! This is all so helpful
As an extension to this, has there been any indication of additional vaccine side effects for people previously infected with covid-19? CDC recommends people previously infected get the vaccine, and I know it's safe per the trials, but I haven't seen if the trials included people that had previously been infected.
This is because they do not have the data. There's actually very little to NO data. The fact that they're saying if you're vaccinated will help you not get sick as bad! is complete bullshit... There's absolutely no data to back this statement. I would like to see proof of the genome testing that they're doing to even call it a Delta variant. I've talk to LabCorp and many other testing facilities that say they do not send out the positive tests for genome testing how can they call it the Delta variant
I think that the conversations on these topics are flat out hypothetical because there is no science, tracking, etc to follow people. I’m in Georgia... I can get to the CDC office in under an hour. Unless you use the same pcp to conduct multiple covid tests, the other sources for testing have no system to track who is tested, when, and results. I’ve had 4 different tests via health department and pharmacy test sites. Only two even asked if I’d had previous tests. Yet even those two sites asked no other question about it.
I know that reinfection happens, because my step brother has had it twice. The time between was greater than 60 days (and I think may have been over 90, but not 100% sure on that). Even though he works for an international corporation, they didn’t make it easy. He was forced by them to quarantine both times but was only able to file for short term disability for the first. (To my knowledge, that has yet to be corrected). He had a negative test after his first quarantine because his job required it. Yet again, no one cared about the specifics of what strain was what. His 2nd quarantine started in the hospital... so these aren’t cases of false positives. He had symptoms, he had multiple tests. But other than testing positive, no one cared. His last quarantine started at the end of October 2020. Obviously people are paying more attention to things now... but no where near enough to support the findings mentioned in this video.
I also know people, family included, who had it twice. Each occurance was months apart, and on some cases a year or more.
They don't mention that on the 6 oclock news do they??
4 co-workers in my company have gotten it twice. 2 of them had a worst reaction compared to the first time....
This is a good video. Serology testing vs vaccine mandates should be a standard. Antibody tests are cheap and coveraged by medical insurance. Wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands should be mandated until the infection numbers decrease.
Yes, you can..I've had it three times now!!! I have it right now and had the delta variant in August. It sucks but this time it's not bad at all, this variant doesn't attack your lungs like the delta variant, so it's more like having a head cold..Btw, I was vaccinated this past May..
My family and I were all sick in July of last year. We currently have symptoms of head colds. Mine being the worst. My husband was hospitalized last July for Covid pneumonia. So it brings me relief that this one hopefully does not attack your lungs
Isn’t it true that we’re always going to get reinfected if we are exposed to the virus? Whether you get the vaccine or have natural immunity that doesn’t mean that you won’t get reinfected it only means that your body will most likely respond faster when it sees the virus the next time. Having memory B cells should give the immune response a much quicker response so the virus has less chance to continue replicating and end up causing complications or death. Basically after the first inoculation subsequent inoculations will most likely be asymptomatic or only mild symptoms. Don’t forget 80% of the people With the initial infection are asymptomatic or only mild symptoms. It’s only people with a compromised immune system who generally suffer
Thank you for covering this topic! In my country, peru, people are takin ivermectin like crazy to prevent and treat covid. Could you please review the science done on this topic?
i need help for whoever is in the comments. i got covid exactly on new years. it was hell, but i got over it & recovered. three weeks later, the exact same symptoms are showing up again. is it possible to get covid twice in one month??
In a conclusion nothing is predictable in the Corona Virus case..
Yup! Everyone experience it so differently and that’s the terrifying part. Throw out the fact that you’re young and doesn’t have any underlying diseases, even when you already had it before, you can still experience a serious case of COVID-19.
It's only because the procedure to confirm reinfection is too complicated. It's like getting one of dozens of new mutated strains which are all negative on PCR which is only for the SARS-COV-2. Those people are counted as healthy and not infected, many of them are asymptomatic and going around spreading those new strains.
I had the virus at the end of January. I’ve been in quarantine on February 2nd to February 22nd. Went back to work to get retested. I was tested back negative. I was young, healthy, and not been overweight. I have antibodies to protect myself from the virus. Hope I don’t die from reinfection of the virus. I need to stay home as much as possible, wash hands, use face masks.

I have COVID-19 as I type. First, time this year in February and now in May. It's mild, but still feel miserable.
I see no evidence that we are tracking cases to the level that second infections are flagged. I have tested positive for Covid-19 twice, first in July, more recently at the end of November. I was mildly symptomatic in July and more ill in November, but still not more sick than an average case of flu. I am in Indiana and the second time we were having such a surge that I never got a call from the Indiana State Department of Health. I called my county board of health because I figured it was rare enough that they would want to know and they referred me to the state. At the state level, someone gave me the email of the epidemiology department so I could give them details. I never heard back from them.
Distance, washing, masks are OK, but what about ventilation? Since this is an airborne disease why aren't we talking about ventilation more, much more? Please do a video about ventilation as well.

I think it's probably because it's less relevant advice for most people (who don't operate buildings), although I agree it should be emphasised more for those situations where they have control of windows in a place they are sharing with those outside their bubble.
Overlooked covid safety guidelines, avoid public bathrooms. The small area of stals and heavyweight of fecal droplets help spread covid. Especially avoid air hand dryers as people who don't wash well well have their germs flung all over the bathroom.

WHY didn't you cover the "reinfections" from the new strains? According to Fauci, if you recently had the first strain but recovered from mild symptoms or were asymptomatic, you are still susceptible to being reinfected with the new strains. This information would have been pertinent to this episode and has been covered within the last week.

Me and my husband both had it when we lived in New York and we just now got over at the second time
This video is before omicron so things have changed , they say omicron antibodies are more protective against reinfection and future strains too
How effective could be the reinfaction?? Is it really dangerous?
If the evidence suggests reinfection is rare do you think that vaccination roll out programs should focus on the uninfected first, and why hasn't this been happening?
Vaccinated with Moderna April 2021. Tested positive for covid August 2021, tested positive again in December 2021. Much sicker the second time.
Why. You think vaccinated you don't need wore a mask always partying. Therefore, you are reinfected.
My hands are constantly bleeding. If I keep washing them, I won't have skin left.
It's been suggested that you use cold water to wash your hands. This is because it's less stripping of your skin's natural oils. Also, moisturize your hands daily. It's what nurses do and cooks, who both have to constantly wash their hands.
@@confusedwhale Doesn't the use of soap negate the lower temperature re: oils?
omg dont wash your hands that much. When outside of your home #1 wear a mask #2 do not touch your face or mask with your hands. #3 wash/sanitize your hands as soon as u get home and take off your mask. #4 keep your hands well moisturized when at home with something gentle and fragrance free. If your hands are dry from handling stuff from like a job wear gloves. Be sure to wash your hands before and after putting on the gloves. Your local public health agency(s) should have detailed information about all this kind of stuff please read it so you don't keep hurting yourself.

As usual, very well done, but since COVID science moves so fast, this video is now outdated. The NEJM article from Dec 23 is mentioned. But we now have the Lancet SIREN study which shows only 7 or 8% reinfection (same as the best vaccines). A pre-print article from Cleveland which shows convincingly that natural immunity is just as effective as the vaccine. A new CDC (MMWR)article says that in those who had COVID infection, twice as many were re-infected without the vaccine. Unfortunately it's a case control study using odds ratios, totally missing the absolute incidence of reinfection, almost certainly very small, making that study mostly irrelevant. And we need more info on the delta variant, too.
but can they test negative yet be positive as PCR protein reading is too high? I am CEV and my son had it in July. he has been well, BUT has what looks like, smells like and seems to be covid again!

A few readers have asked us whether you can catch Covid-19 twice. This follows reports at the end of February that a Japanese woman had tested positive a second time. A recent article in the Daily Mail and two articles in the Sun also suggested in their headlines and their early paragraphs that this might be the case.
The evidence so far shows that catching the disease twice is very rare, and that most infected people recover and develop immunity against it. However, it is not yet clear how long this immunity will last.
When a journalist raised the case of the woman in Japan at the Prime Minister’s press conference on 16 March, the Chief Scientific Advisor, Sir Patrick Vallance said: “In any infectious disease there are cases where people can catch something again. They’re rare. There’s nothing to suggest that this is a common occurrence in this disease, but we are learning as we go along.”
A report from the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention on 25 March says, “there is emerging evidence from early studies suggesting that individuals develop antibodies after infection and are likely to be immune from reinfection in the short term”.
During a live question-and-answer session on 25 March, Professor Jimmy Whitworth from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said: “There have been a few isolated examples where [reinfection] has been reported. That people were positive, then they were negative, then they were positive again.
“It looks like, in the great majority of cases, this doesn’t happen. That people get infected once. My suspicion is that those discrepant test results that we get are to do with, actually, the sampling. It’s not straightforward to take a sample from the back of the throat and make sure you catch virus every time. So I suspect it’s a technical issue, rather than repeat infection… It looks like you are immune for getting it again, but for how long, we don’t know yet.”
The articles in the Daily Mail and the Sun cite several reports from China, which describe a small number of recovered Covid-19 patients testing positive for the disease again.
As the Mail and Sun articles say, based on local reports, the patients who tested positive twice in Wuhan showed no symptoms the second time and none apparently passed the disease to others.
The same was true of a group of patients who tested positive twice in Guangdong province. The Sun quotes a doctor involved in the research saying the results were in the “weak positive” range, suggesting that the virus may no longer have been active. He also added that there may have been problems with sampling.
The Mail quotes the director of Wuhan’s Tongji Hospital, Wang Wei, saying: “It’s possible that these recovered patients tested negative before because of false results... The accuracy of a nucleic acid test is 30 to 50 per cent.”
In short, these cases do not show that it is common for people to contract Covid-19 twice, as it is possible that the virus had not yet left these patients’ bodies after their first infection.

Why is hand washing so important? I thought there was low or no evidence of fomite transmission?
Washing hands is another line of defence between you and infection.
Just imagine everything you touch is covered in different kinds of excrement. You have poop on your hands. Everytime you touch something, you add a different poop on your hands and on the thing you touch that someone else is going to touch.
Use hand sanitizer after you leave a place but before you enter your vehicle. Yes, you still have poop on your hands, but most of the "germs" are killed.
That's why you wash your hands whenever you can, because that removes any accumulated shit that you've been carrying around with you.
Great video as usual. At 5:03, we should remember that that's conditional on being hospitalized. Most young people who got the virus probably won't be hospitalized. On the other hand (!) there is also the possibility of long-term effects even if are young and you weren't hospitalized. And then there are those who should have been hospitalized but weren't for whatever reason!
Personally, as a person under 40, I'd just rather not have a 1/2000 change of dying, thanks. Plus I'd like to avoid the much higher probability of complications and even long-term effects.

I have had covid19 in feb 2020 with 3 days with high fever, headache, fatigue and only 1 event of coughing. The second time was just last November where I was with very mild temperature for only half day, and extreme fatigue for a day follow from less extreme fatigue. In this occasion I did not really take those symptoms as they were possibly related to covid19 since they could be due to stress, long working hours and also "fear". It's only at the end of the only day with symptoms when having my favorite take out meal, I have acknowledged my complete loss of taste and smell. I then follow up with some "tasting test" by eating some food I have had at home... and nothing. Very different from anything I have had experience before. My nose was not obstructed nor was running. Weird fact, Despite the fact I could not taste anything at all, the tongue will feel chili flakes like someone was holding still a blue-light torch on the spot of the tongue where the flakes happen to be. This symptoms did not disappear in a day but I was able to fully regain my sense of taste and smell after almost 2 months from when I tested positive to covid19. ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT, despite the very easy way out from the infection... I have been experienced "post covid19" syndrome after 2 weeks from when tested negative. This include a period of 2 and an half month with a series of symptoms coming and going in a wave like mode, symptoms of any kind including events of hallucination, short breathing, extreme fatigue, confusion, loss of memory both short term and long term, bran fog, muscle pain, weak bones, hearth racing in absence of physical work (even during the night) and for unknown reasons an increase negativity with a never-before experience depression was also experienced. This would gradually get better but yet, time to time I do notice those things still going on but in a mild level.
Man! Sorry about all that. For me, i didn't lose my taste or smell, but my thermostat or body temperature regulator doesn't work normally.
I wish you recover from all this.

@@tigreygt6614 I was sure I have replied to you... not sure what happened to my reply :D. It is way better now, but unfortunately, I still have episodes one any other day. Due to the randomness of the symptoms and the kind of wave-like intensity of those can only make sense if the brain has been facing some sort of little damage. That won't be fixable but could still improve and at least allow me to have a normal life. I am glad you haven't lost taste or smell.. cause I think it is the red flag from covid19 brain cells infection. I hope you and your family are all good. The best of luck, and thanks for the kind words.

You will be ok. Just stay positive, and the best of luck to you and all those that care about you.
You should get data from Nurses in the hospital, I am a covid survivor, and many nurses I talk to say they are fully vaccinated and they say reinfection is quite normal, most of them had reinfection more than 2 to 3 times in a span of 6 months. The first time they are infected, some of them had symptoms, but consecutive reinfections are all asymptomatic(no symptoms).
I know people who have covid for a third time. I don't know- maybe this time it's actually something else but they are all vaxed. There are unvaxed persons getting it for the first time that i know of as well but they seem to think they could have got if from a vaxed person. It does not matter at this point. If you are more vulnerable you need to isolate right now even if vaxed.
Same as: can you get the flu again? Yes! Yes!
I got it twice, once in July 2020 and again in August 2021. Both with test, not just symptoms. And I know at least four people that had it twice.
I think you always going out no wearing a mask all the times.
@@kkc1931 No, Don't assume things to fit your narrative, the statement you made about me is 1000% false. I live in Washington state in King County, where mask are mandated everywhere, even my job we cannot enter without a mask. Do your research before you spread lies about someone.
@@childofthemosthigh4100 is it your workplace lot of employees in the company. If possible, this is danger high risk
@@kkc1931 No it's not that, Covid-19 is just unpredictable, no one knows enough about it. It is Nobody's fault except the person/ team that made the virus transferable to humans, but Scientists can try their best to figure things out, but that's it. Things are just uncertain right now.
@@childofthemosthigh4100 have you vaccinated. To be honest, beware lot of people close distance. I don't know what reason and why you will be infect. In my place, lot of people fully vaccinated around up to 40 percents inflection because they feel free no mask going out or even partying.
My reinfection story: I got covid in October 20 last year, 6 months after in march 21 my entire family got affected. Now being the only one healthier I was the one taking care of everyone, providing medicines , rushing my parents to the hospital, etc. Here is where i caught the reinfection; sudden fever to 104 deg C, diarrhoea, etc, however this time it lasted for a few days. It seems when body once develops resistance, on the second time it doesnot allows the pathogen to spread that fast and so symptoms dont go that severe. Now would I need a vaccine from here on?
I would like to know if you have take the vaccine , if yes, which one ? in my case I get infected by the virus at the first time in August last year , and after few days , I get relief , and now in my country, there is a new wave of the delta variant virus , and I'm afraid to get reinfected for the second time '' especially since the new wave seem more savage then the previous one '' and in the same time I'm not sure if I should take the vaccine or no!
@@syphaxxxxx No i havent taken any vaccine as yet. But here in India they are promoting Covaxin or Covashield. About the delta variant, i believe my entire family had to be hospitalised due it in March this year, except me
@@JaspreetSingh-hb2mr delta virus come from India. Shame
@@kkc1931 Its not completely known whether the origins of Delta variant was India or not, but it spread rapidly here
@@JaspreetSingh-hb2mr you know yourself why refinflection but you don't say the truth reason. No mask always you do not realize pretend to be victims I don't want insulting .
I had covid earlier this month, and my prior belief before watching this is that I have a 90-day period of decreasing immunity, roughly.
That is aligned with what I understood from the CDC website. I chocked this up to being over cautious on their part.
Although the first example, different strain infection, was not super surprising since that happens with the common cold every year.
You are likely to have circulating antibodies for about 3 months. But check out John Campbell's videos. He is a nursing professor in England and has been making daily updates throughout the pandemic. He is beginning to believe that COVID infection provides lifetime immunity to the variant that infected you. One study that was following people who were known to have been infected showed that 100% of those in the study still have robust immunity. Also, in one study of the general population while less than 10% of the people had antibodies, about 30% had T- cell immunity to COVID.
I had it in August/September 2020 and got it again this November 2021. Maybe a new variant? Similar symptoms.
I think you refuse wearing a mask go outside
Shame of you.
